When CoW can be used, the VM restoration time is reduced, but the pages
are not populated. This can lead to some slowness from the guest when
accessing these pages.
Depending on the use case, we might prefer a slower boot time for better
performances from guest runtime. The way to achieve this is to prefault
the pages in this case, using the MAP_POPULATE flag along with CoW.

This patch extends the previous behavior on the restore codepath.
Instead of copying the memory regions content from the snapshot files
into the new memory regions, the VMM will use the snapshot region files
as the backing files behind each mapped region. This is done in order to
reduce the time for the VM to be restored.
When the source VM has been initially started with a backing file, this
means it has been mapped with the MAP_SHARED flag. For this case, we
cannot use the CoW trick to speed up the VM restore path and we simply
fallback onto the copy of the memory regions content.

Whenever a MemoryManager is restored from a snapshot, the memory regions

The MemoryManager is somehow a special case, as its restore() function
was not implemented as part of the Snapshottable trait. Instead, and
because restoring memory regions rely both on vm.json and every memory
region snapshot file, the memory manager is restored at creation time.
This makes the restore path slightly different from CpuManager, Vcpu,
DeviceManager and Vm, but achieve the correct restoration of the

A Snapshottable component can snapshot itself and
provide a MigrationSnapshot payload as a result.
A MigrationSnapshot payload is a map of component IDs to a list of
migration sections (MigrationSection). As component can be made of
several Migratable sub-components (e.g. the DeviceManager and its
device objects), a migration snapshot can be made of multiple snapshot
itself.
A snapshot is a list of migration sections, each section being a
component state snapshot. Having multiple sections allows for easier and
backward compatible migration payload extensions.
Once created, a migratable component snapshot may be transported and this
is what the Transportable trait defines, through 2 methods: send and recv.

will be no region since the whole memory has been reserved up front by
