In anticipation for allowing memory zones to be removed, but also in
anticipation for refactoring NUMA parameter, we introduce a mandatory
'id' option to the --memory-zone parameter.
This forces the user to provide a unique identifier for each memory zone
so that we can refer to these.

Based on the 'guest_numa_node' option, we create and store a list of

With the introduction of this new option, the user will be able to
describe if a particular memory zone should belong to a specific NUMA
node from a guest perspective.
For instance, using '--memory-zone size=1G,guest_numa_node=2' would let
the user describe that a memory zone of 1G in the guest should be
exposed as being associated with the NUMA node 2.

Since memory zones have been introduced, it is now possible for a user
to specify multiple backends for the guest RAM. By adding a new option
'host_numa_node' to the 'memory-zone' parameter, we allow the guest RAM
to be backed by memory that might come from a specific NUMA node on the
host.
The option expects a node identifier, specifying which NUMA node should
be used to allocate the memory associated with a specific memory zone.

Factorize the codepath between simple memory and multiple memory zones.
This simplifies the way regions are memory mapped, as everything relies
on the same codepath. This is performed by creating a memory zone on the

create the memory regions forming the guest memory.

First thing, this patch introduces a new function to identify if a file
descriptor is linked to any hard link on the system. This can let the
VMM know if the file can be accessed by the user, or if the file will
be destroyed as soon as the VMM releases the file descriptor.
Based on this information, and associated with the knowledge about the
region being MAP_SHARED or not, the VMM can now decide to skip the copy
of the memory region content. If the user has access to the file from
the filesystem, and if the file has been mapped as MAP_SHARED, we can
consider the guest memory region content to be present in this file at
any point in time. That's why in this specific case, there's no need for
performing the copy of the memory region content into a dedicated file.

Let's not assume that a backing file is going to be the result from
a snapshot for each memory region. These regions might be backed by
a file on the host filesystem (not a temporary file in host RAM), which
means they don't need to be copied and stored into dedicated files.
That's why this commit prepares for further changes by introducing an
optional PathBuf associated with the snapshot of each memory region.

In case the provided backing file is an actual file and not a directory,
we should not truncate it, as we expect the file to already be the right

second mapping wouldn't work properly.

Now that the restore path uses RestoreConfig structure, we add a new

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

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.
