As per the VIRTIO specification, every virtio device configuration can
be updated while the guest is running. The guest needs to be notified
when this happens, and it can be done in two different ways, depending
on the type of interrupt being used for those devices.
In case the device uses INTx, the allocated IRQ pin is shared between
queues and configuration updates. The way for the guest to differentiate
between an interrupt meant for a virtqueue or meant for a configuration
update is tied to the value of the ISR status field. This field is a
simple 32 bits bitmask where only bit 0 and 1 can be changed, the rest
is reserved.
In case the device uses MSI/MSI-X, the driver should allocate a
dedicated vector for configuration updates. This case is much simpler as
it only requires the device to send the appropriate MSI vector.
The cloud-hypervisor codebase was not supporting the update of a virtio
device configuration. This patch extends the existing VirtioInterrupt
closure to accept a type that can be Config or Queue, so that based on
this type, the closure implementation can make the right choice about
which interrupt pin or vector to trigger.

Because we cannot always assume the irq fd will be the way to send
an IRQ to the guest, this means we cannot make the assumption that
every virtio device implementation should expect an EventFd to
trigger an IRQ.
This commit organizes the code related to virtio devices so that it
now expects a Rust closure instead of a known EventFd. This lets the
caller decide what should be done whenever a device needs to trigger
an interrupt to the guest.
The closure will allow for other type of interrupt mechanism such as
MSI to be implemented. From the device perspective, it could be a
pin based interrupt or an MSI, it does not matter since the device
will simply call into the provided callback, passing the appropriate
Queue as a reference. This design keeps the device model generic.

As it is necessary to return the interrupt EventFD and the queue EventFD
to the transport layer upon reset the activate function has been
modified to clone these descriptors as well as the underlying disk
itself.
