VFIO currently allocates it's own dynamic chardev range, reserving the first minor for the control part of the interface (/dev/vfio/vfio) and the remainder for VFIO groups (/dev/vfio/$GROUP). This works, but it doesn't support auto loading. For instance when libvirt checks for VFIO support it looks for /dev/vfio/vfio, which currently doesn't exist unless the vfio module is loaded. By converting the control device to a misc driver and reserving a static minor, we can enable auto loading. Reserving the minor is a prerequist to that conversion. Minor 196 is unused by anything currently in the kernel.
