3ffc655a38 docs: Update VFIO binding instructions
With recent kernels, it is now expected to use "bind" control from the
sysfs in order to bind a specific device to the vfio-pci driver.

The use of "new_id" is still required but it is only needed once per
device type. Let's say you want to bind two virtio-net devices, you will
need to add the device_id:vendor_id pair through "new_id", while you
will be required to use "bind" for each device.

e1cc702327 memory_manager: Fix address range calculation in MemorySlot
The MCRS method returns a 64-bit memory range descriptor. The
calculation is supposed to be done as follows:

max = min + len - 1

However, every operand is represented not as a QWORD but as combination
of two DWORDs for high and low part. Till now, the calculation was done
this way, please see also inline comments:

max.lo = min.lo + len.lo //this may overflow, need to carry over to high
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi
max.hi = max.hi - 1 // subtraction needs to happen on the low part

This calculation has been corrected the following way:

max.lo = min.lo + len.lo
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi + (max.lo < min.lo) // check for overflow
max.lo = max.lo - 1 // subtract from low part

The relevant part from the generated ASL for the MCRS method:
```
Method (MCRS, 1, Serialized)
{
    Acquire (MLCK, 0xFFFF)
    \_SB.MHPC.MSEL = Arg0
    Name (MR64, ResourceTemplate ()
    {
	QWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,
	    0x0000000000000000, // Granularity
	    0x0000000000000000, // Range Minimum
	    0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE, // Range Maximum
	    0x0000000000000000, // Translation Offset
	    0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, // Length
	    ,, _Y00, AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)
    })
    CreateQWordField (MR64, \_SB.MHPC.MCRS._Y00._MIN, MINL)  // _MIN: Minimum Base Address
    CreateDWordField (MR64, 0x12, MINH)
    CreateQWordField (MR64, \_SB.MHPC.MCRS._Y00._MAX, MAXL)  // _MAX: Maximum Base Address
    CreateDWordField (MR64, 0x1A, MAXH)
    CreateQWordField (MR64, \_SB.MHPC.MCRS._Y00._LEN, LENL)  // _LEN: Length
    CreateDWordField (MR64, 0x2A, LENH)
    MINL = \_SB.MHPC.MHBL
    MINH = \_SB.MHPC.MHBH
    LENL = \_SB.MHPC.MHLL
    LENH = \_SB.MHPC.MHLH
    MAXL = (MINL + LENL) /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.LENL */
    MAXH = (MINH + LENH) /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.LENH */
    If ((MAXL < MINL))
    {
	MAXH += One /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.MAXH */
    }

    MAXL -= One
    Release (MLCK)
    Return (MR64) /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.MR64 */
}
```

this commit introduces a new option 'hotplug_size' to '--memory-zone'

e15dba2925 vmm: Rename NUMA option 'id' into 'guest_numa_id'
The goal of this commit is to rename the existing NUMA option 'id' with
'guest_numa_id'. This is done without any modification to the way this
option behaves.

The reason for the rename is caused by the observation that all other
parameters with an option called 'id' expect a string to be provided.

Because in this particular case we expect a u32 representing a proximity
domain from the ACPI specification, it's better to name it with a more
explicit name.
