Bound checks for virtio-mem and ACPI memory hotplug are off by
one and two, respectively. This prevents users to fully use the reserved
memory hotplug size.
For ACPI, if we specific `--memory size=2G,hotplug_size=4G` and run
`ch-remote resize --memory 6G`, cloud-hypervisor will report the
following error because of the incorrect bound check:
`<vmm> ERROR:vmm/src/lib.rs:1631 -- Error when resizing VM:
MemoryManager(InsufficientHotplugRam)`
Similarly, for virtio-mem, cloud-hypervisor will fail the incorrect
bound check and abort the resize. The VM will see the following error
in dmesg:
`virtio_mem virtio3: unknown error, marking device broken: -22`
This patch has fixed both bound checks and ensure that users can
hot add memory up to the reserved hotplug size.

The memory region that is associated with the hotpluggable part of
a virtio-mem zone isn't backed by the file specified in the
MemoryZoneConfig. The file is used only for the fixed part of the
zone. When you try to restore a snapshot with virtio-mem, the
backing file is used for all its regions. This results in the
following error:
VmRestore(MemoryManager(GuestMemoryRegion(MappingPastEof)))
This patch sets backing_file only for the fixed part of a virtio-mem
zone.

On guests with large amounts of memory, using the `prefault` option can
lead to a very long boot time. This commit implements the strategy
taken by QEMU to prefault memory in parallel using multiple threads,
decreasing the time to allocate memory for large guests by
an order of magnitude or more.
For example, this commit reduces the time to allocate memory for a
guest configured with 704 GiB of memory on 1 NUMA node using 1 GiB
hugepages from 81.44134669s to just 6.865287881s.

This commit renames `ram_region_sub_size` to `ram_region_available_size`
and make its value align down to the default page size or hugepage
size of the current memory zone, which can prevent the memory zone from
being split into misaligned parts. And if the available size of ram
region is zero, this region will be marked as consumed even it has
unused space.
Note that there is two methods to use hugepages.
1. Specify `hugepages` for `memory` or `memory-zone`, if the
`hugepage_size` is not specified, the value can be got by `statfs`
for `/dev/hugepages`.
2. Specify a `file` in hugetlbfs for `memory-zone`, the hugepage size
can also be got by `statfs` for the file.
The value for alignment will be the hugepage size if this memory zone
is using hugepages, otherwise the value will be default page size of
system.

The previous `arch_memory_regions` function will provide some memory
regions with the specified memory size and fill all the previous
regions before using the next one, but sometimes there may be no need
to fill up the previous one, e.g., the previous one should be aligned
with hugepage size.
This commit make `arch_memory_regions` function not take any
parameters and return the max available regions, the memory manager
can use them on demand.

We can ideally defer the address space allocation till we start the
vCPUs for the very first time. Because the VM will not access the memory
until the CPUs start running. Thus there is no need to allocate the
address space eagerly and wait till the time we are going to start the
vCPUs for the first time.

If the memory is not backed by a file then it is possible to enable
Transparent Huge Pages on the memory and take advantage of the benefits
of huge pages without requiring the specific allocation of an appropriate
number of huge pages.

region is now THPeligible (and that also pages are being used.)

We can't use MAP_ANONYMOUS and still have huge pages so MAP_SHARED is
effectively required when using huge pages.
Unfortunately it is not as simple as always forcing MAP_SHARED if
hugepages is on as this might be inappropriate in the backing file case
hence why there is additional complexity of assigning to mmap_flags on
each case and the MAP_SHARED is only turned on for the anonymous file
huge page case as well as anonymous shared file case.

If we do not need an anonymous file backing the memory then do not

As a side effect this addresses an issue with CoW (mmap with MAP_PRIVATE

This is preliminary work to ensure a migrated VM is created right before
it is restored. This will be useful when moving to a design where the VM
is both created and restored simultaneously from the Snapshot.
In details, that means the MemoryManager is the object that must be
created upon receiving the config from the source VM, so that memory
content can be later received and filled into the GuestMemory.
Only after these steps happened, the snapshot is received from the
source VM, and the actual Vm object can be created from both the
snapshot and the MemoryManager previously created.

There's no need to delegate the resize operation to the virtio-mem
thread. This can come directly from the vmm thread which will use the
Mem object to update the VIRTIO configuration and trigger the interrupt
for the guest to be notified.
In order to achieve what's described above, the VirtioMemZone structure
now has a handle onto the Mem object directly. This avoids the need for
intermediate Resize and ResizeSender structures.

The introduction of a error if live resizing is not possible is a
regression compared to the original behaviour where the new size would
be stored in the config and reflected in the next boot. This behaviour
was also inconsistent with the effect of resizing with no VM booted.
Instead of generating an error allow the code to go ahead and update the
config so that the new size will be available upon the reboot.
