/**
+ * External user API, exported by symbols to be linked dynamically.
+ *
+ * The protocol includes:
+ * 1. do normal VFIO init operation:
+ * - opening a new container;
+ * - attaching group(s) to it;
+ * - setting an IOMMU driver for a container.
+ * When IOMMU is set for a container, all groups in it are
+ * considered ready to use by an external user.
+ *
+ * 2. User space passes a group fd to an external user.
+ * The external user calls vfio_group_get_external_user()
+ * to verify that:
+ * - the group is initialized;
+ * - IOMMU is set for it.
+ * If both checks passed, vfio_group_get_external_user()
+ * increments the container user counter to prevent
+ * the VFIO group from disposal before KVM exits.
+ *
+ * 3. The external user calls vfio_external_user_iommu_id()
+ * to know an IOMMU ID.
+ *
+ * 4. When the external KVM finishes, it calls
+ * vfio_group_put_external_user() to release the VFIO group.
+ * This call decrements the container user counter.
