Currently, not every feature of the cloud-hypervisor is enabled
on AArch64, which means that on AArch64 machines, the
`run_unit_tests.sh` needs to be tailored and some unit test cases
should be run on x86_64 only.
Also this commit fixes the typo and unifies `Arm64` and `AArch64`
in the AArch64 document.

Implemented GSI allocator and system allocator for AArch64.
Renamed some layout definitions to align more code between architectures.

For correctness, when the CPUID supports the LA57 feature, the VMM sets
the CR4.LA57 register, which means a fifth level of page table might be
needed. Even if it's not needed because the kernel should not use
addresses over 1GiB, it's better to define this new level anyway.
This patch only applies to the Linux boot codepath, which means it
affects both vmlinux without PVH and bzImage binaries. The bzImage
does not need this since the page tables and CR4 registers are set in
the decompression code from the kernel.
And for vmlinux with PVH, if we follow the PVH specification, the kernel
must be responsible for setting things up, but the implementation is
missing. This means for now that PVH does not support LA57 with 5 levels
of paging.

In case the host CPU exposes the support for LA57 feature through its
cpuid, the CR4.LA57 bit is enabled accordingly.

When booting VM on AArch64 machines, we need to construct the
flattened device tree before loading kernel. Hence here we add
the implementation of the flattened device tree for AArch64.

As on AArch64 systems we need register mpidr to create the
flattened device tree, here in this commit we add ported AArch64
register implementation from Firecracker and related changes to
make this commit build.

This commit adds ported code of Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC)
software implementation for AArch64, including both GICv2 and
GICv3 devices. These GIC devices are actually emulated by the
host kernel through KVM and will be used in the guest VM as the
interrupt controller for AArch64.

Now the flow of both architectures are aligned to:
1. load kernel
2. create VCPU's
3. configure system
4. start VCPU's

This is a preparing commit to build and test CH on AArch64. All building
issues were fixed, but no functionality was introduced.
For X86, the logic of code was not changed at all.
For ARM, the architecture specific part is still empty. And we applied
some tricks to workaround lint warnings. But such code will be replaced
later by other commits with real functionality.

Use the ACPI feature to control whether to build the mptable. This is
necessary as the mptable and ACPI RSDP table can easily overwrite each
other leading to it failing to boot.
TEST=Compile with default features and see that --cpus boot=48 now
works, try with --no-default-features --features "pci" and observe the
--cpus boot=48 also continues to work.
Fixes: #1132

The setup_mptables() call which is not used on ACPI builds has a side
effect of testing whether there was enough RAM which one of the unit
tests was relying on. Add a similar check for the RSDP address.

We set it to 0xff, which is for unregistered loaders.
The kernel checks that the bootloader ID is set when e.g. loading
ramdisks, so not setting it when we get a bootparams header from the
loader will prevent the kernel from loading ramdisks.

In order to properly initialize the kvm regs/sregs structs for
the guest, the load_kernel() return type must specify which
boot protocol to use with the entry point address it returns.
Make load_kernel() return an EntryPoint struct containing the
required information. This structure will later be used
in the vCPU configuration methods to setup the appropriate
initial conditions for the guest.

Since the kvm crates now depend on vmm-sys-util, the bump must be
atomic.
The kvm-bindings and ioctls 0.2.0 and 0.4.0 crates come with a few API
changes, one of them being the use of a kvm_ioctls specific error type.
Porting our code to that type makes for a fairly large diff stat.

Remove ACPI table creation from arch crate to the vmm crate simplifying
arch::configure_system()
GuestAddress(0) is used to mean no RSDP table rather than adding
complexity with a conditional argument or an Option type as it will
evaluate to a zero value which would be the default anyway.
