Struct chipset_device::mmio::ExternallyManagedMmioIntercepts

pub struct ExternallyManagedMmioIntercepts;

A zero sized type that has a no-op impl of RegisterMmioIntercept.

As the name suggests, this type should be used when a ChipsetDevice is hosted outside of a traditional “chipset” context, where some external code is responsible for managing the device’s MMIO intercepts.

e.g: A ChipsetDevice that supports PCI could potentially be reused inside a wrapper type that intercepts PCI config space reads/writes, and takes care of BAR management for the device.

That said, if you find yourself reaching for this type (outside the context of a test), you’re probably doing something wrong. Consider implementing a proper chipset to host the device on instead.
