While cloud-hypervisor does support receiving the file descriptors of a
tuntap device, advertising the fds structure via the openAPI can lead to
misinterpretations of what can and what should be done.
An unadvertised consumer will think that they could rather just set the
file descriptors there directly, or even pass them as a byte array.
However, the proper way to go in those cases would be actually sending
those via send_msg(), together with the request.
As hacking the openAPI auto-generated code to properly do this is not
*that* trivial, and as doing so during a `create VM` request is not
supported, we better not advertising those.

Now that all the preliminary work has been merged to make Cloud
Hypervisor work with the upstream crate virtio-queue from
rust-vmm/vm-virtio repository, we can move the whole codebase and remove
the local copy of the virtio-queue crate.

Now that multiple file descriptors can be provided along with add-net,
that means we can hotplug a multiqueue macvtap interface to the VM.
The common macvtap test is updated, meaning that both coldplug and
hotplug codepath now use multiqueue.

Based on the latest code from the micro-http crate, this patch adds the
support for multiple file descriptors to be sent along with the add-net
request. This means we can now hotplug multiqueue network interface to
the VM.

This new trait simplifies the address translation of a GuestAddress by
having GuestAddress implementing it.
The three crates virtio-devices, block_util and net_util have been
updated accordingly to rely on this new trait, helping with code
readability and limiting the amount of duplicated code.

Descriptor addresses are now translated from the virtio devices directly
and the definition of the AccessPlatform trait has been moved to
vm-virtio crate. For these reasons, the virtio-queue crate can be
simplified, which makes it very close to the upstream version.

Moving the whole codebase to rely on the AccessPlatform definition from
vm-virtio so that we can fully remove it from virtio-queue crate.

Moving away from the virtio-queue mechanism for descriptor address
translation. Instead, we enable the new mechanism added to every
VirtioDevice implementation, by setting the AccessPlatform trait if one
can be found.

Since we're trying to move away from the translation happening in the
virtio-queue crate, the device itself is performing the address
translation when needed.

Add a new method set_access_platform() to the VirtioDevice trait in

Now that the virtio-devices crate can take care of the queue addresses
when placed behind a vIOMMU, we can remove the corresponding code.
Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <sebastien.boeuf@intel.com>
Upon the enablement of the queue by the guest, we perform a translation
of the descriptor table, the available ring and used ring addresses
prior to enabling the device itself. This only applies to the case where
the device is placed behind a vIOMMU, which is the reason why the
translation is needed. Indeed, the addresses allocated by the guest are
IOVAs which must be translated into GPAs before we can access the queue.

Instead of relying on the virtio-queue crate to store the information
about the MSI-X vectors for each queue, we handle this directly from the
PCI transport layer.
This is the first step in getting closer to the upstream version of
virtio-queue so that we can eventually move fully to the upstream
version.

When freeing memory sometimes glibc will attempt to read
"/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory" to find out how it should release the
blocks. This happens sporadically with Cloud Hypervisor but has been
seen in use. It is not necessary to add the read() syscall to the list
as it is already included in the virtio devices common set. Similarly
the vCPU and vmm threads already have both these in the allowed list.
