When performing an API boot validate the configuration. For now only
some very basic validation is performed but in subsequent commits
the validation will be extended.
Signed-off-by: Rob Bradford <robert.bradford@intel.com>
The configuration comes from a variety of places (commandline, REST API
and restore) however some validation was only happening on the command
line parsing path. Therefore introduce a new ability to validate the
configuration before proceeding so that this can be used for commandline
and API boots.
For now move just the console and serial output mode validation under
the new validation API.

Now that the restore path uses RestoreConfig structure, we add a new
parameter called "prefault" to it. This will give the user the ability
to populate the pages corresponding to the mapped regions backed by the
snapshotted memory files.

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
associated with it might need to directly back the mapped memory for
increased performances. If that's the case, a list of external regions
is provided and the MemoryManager should simply ignore what's coming
from the MemoryConfig.

Now that we can choose specific mmap flags for the guest RAM, we create
a new parameter "copy_on_write" meaning that the memory mappings backed

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
MemoryManager along with its memory regions filled with the correct
content.
