Following the refactoring of the code allowing multiple threads to
access the same instance of the guest memory, this patch goes one step
further by adding RwLock to it. This anticipates the future need for
being able to modify the content of the guest memory at runtime.
The reasons for adding regions to an existing guest memory could be:
- Add virtio-pmem and virtio-fs regions after the guest memory was
created.
- Support future hotplug of devices, memory, or anything that would
require more memory at runtime.
Because most of the time, the lock will be taken as read only, using
RwLock instead of Mutex is the right approach.

The VMM guest memory was cloned (copied) everywhere the code needed to
have ownership of it. In order to clean the code, and in anticipation
for future support of modifying this guest memory instance at runtime,
it is important that every part of the code share the same instance.
Because VirtioDevice implementations need to have access to it from
different threads, that's why Arc must be used in this case.

The structure of the vmm-sys-util crate has changed with lots of code
moving to submodules.
This change adjusts the use of the imported structs to reference the
submodules.
Fixes: #145

KVM does not support multiple KVM VFIO devices to be created when
trying to support multiple VFIO devices. This commit creates one
global KVM VFIO device being shared with every VFIO device, which
makes possible the support for passing several devices through the
VM.

VFIO explictly tells us if a MMIO region can be mapped into the guest
address space or not. Except for MSI-X table BARs, we try to map them
into the guest whenever VFIO allows us to do so. This avoids unnecessary
VM exits when the guest tries to access those regions.

The Virtual Function I/O (VFIO) kernel subsystem exposes a vast and
relatively complex userspace API. This commit abstracts and simplifies
this API into both an internal and external API.
The external API is to be consumed by VFIO device implementation through
the VfioDevice structure. A VfioDevice instance can:
- Enable and disable all interrupts (INTX, MSI and MSI-X) on the
underlying VFIO device.
- Read and write all of the VFIO device memory regions.
- Set the system's IOMMU tables for the underlying device.
