+4.79 KVM_CREATE_DEVICE
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_create_device (in/out)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+Errors:
+  ENODEV: The device type is unknown or unsupported
+  EEXIST: Device already created, and this type of device may not
+          be instantiated multiple times
+
+  Other error conditions may be defined by individual device types or
+  have their standard meanings.
+
+Creates an emulated device in the kernel.  The file descriptor returned
+in fd can be used with KVM_SET/GET/HAS_DEVICE_ATTR.
+
+If the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE_TEST flag is set, only test whether the
+device type is supported (not necessarily whether it can be created
+in the current vm).
+
+Individual devices should not define flags.  Attributes should be used
+for specifying any behavior that is not implied by the device type
+number.

+4.80 KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL
+Type: device ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_device_attr
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+Errors:
+  ENXIO:  The group or attribute is unknown/unsupported for this device
+  EPERM:  The attribute cannot (currently) be accessed this way
+          (e.g. read-only attribute, or attribute that only makes
+          sense when the device is in a different state)
+
+  Other error conditions may be defined by individual device types.
+
+Gets/sets a specified piece of device configuration and/or state.  The
+semantics are device-specific.  See individual device documentation in
+the "devices" directory.  As with ONE_REG, the size of the data
+transferred is defined by the particular attribute.

+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL
+Type: device ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_device_attr
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+Errors:
+  ENXIO:  The group or attribute is unknown/unsupported for this device
+
+Tests whether a device supports a particular attribute.  A successful
+return indicates the attribute is implemented.  It does not necessarily
+indicate that the attribute can be read or written in the device's
+current state.  "addr" is ignored.
