Hi!

Jonah Palmer is working on implementing notification_data [1]. He's
implementing it on emulated devices first but the resulting QEMU
should be able to enable it for vdpa devices too. Would it be possible
for you to review it, and /or test the series against your devices?
And checking that everything works on emulated devices too?

Thanks!
