> can't you use vfio_info_add_capability() directly?

yes, the below lines will be covered by vfio_info_add_capability().

+ header = vfio_info_cap_add(caps, size,
+ VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1_INFO_CAP_NESTING, 1);
+ if (IS_ERR(header))
+ return PTR_ERR(header);
+
+ nesting_cap = container_of(header,
+ struct vfio_iommu_type1_info_cap_nesting,
+ header);

yes, will modify it.
