We want to prevent from losing interrupts while they are masked. The
way they can be lost is due to the internals of how they are connected
through KVM. An eventfd is registered to a specific GSI, and then a
route is associated with this same GSI.
The current code adds/removes a route whenever a mask/unmask action
happens. Problem with this approach, KVM will consume the eventfd but
it won't be able to find an associated route and eventually it won't
be able to deliver the interrupt.
That's why this patch introduces a different way of masking/unmasking
the interrupts, simply by registering/unregistering the eventfd with the
GSI. This way, when the vector is masked, the eventfd is going to be
written but nothing will happen because KVM won't consume the event.
Whenever the unmask happens, the eventfd will be registered with a
specific GSI, and if there's some pending events, KVM will trigger them,
based on the route associated with the GSI.

Recently, vhost_user_block gained the ability of actively polling the
queue, a feature that can be disabled with the poll_queue property.
This change adds this property to DiskConfig, so it can be used
through the "disk" argument.
For the moment, it can only be used when vhost_user=true, but this
will change once virtio-block gets the poll_queue feature too.

The kernel does not adhere to the ACPI specification (probably to work
around broken hardware) and rather than busy looping after requesting an
ACPI reset it will attempt to reset by other mechanisms (such as i8042
reset.)
In order to trigger a reset the devices write to an EventFd (called
reset_evt.) This is used by the VMM to identify if a reset is requested
and make the VM reboot. As the reset_evt is part of the VMM and reused
for both the old and new VM it is possible for the newly booted VM to
immediately get reset as there is an old event sitting in the EventFd.
The simplest solution is to "drain" the reset_evt EventFd on reboot to
make sure that there is no spurious events in the EventFd.

Relying on the latest vm-memory version, including the freshly
introduced structure GuestMemoryAtomic, this patch replaces every
occurrence of Arc<ArcSwap<GuestMemoryMmap> with
GuestMemoryAtomic<GuestMemoryMmap>.
The point is to rely on the common RCU-like implementation from
vm-memory so that we don't have to do it from Cloud-Hypervisor.

When a virtio-fs device is created with a dedicated shared region, by
default the region should be mapped as PROT_NONE so that no pages can be
faulted in.
It's only when the guest performs the mount of the virtiofs filesystem
that we can expect the VMM, on behalf of the backend, to perform some
new mappings in the reserved shared window, using PROT_READ and/or
PROT_WRITE.

It is necessary to do this at the start of the VMM execution rather than
later as it must be done in the main thread in order to satisfy the
checks required by PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS (see proc(5) and
ptrace(2))
The alternative is to run as CAP_SYS_PTRACE but that has its
disadvantages.

Having the InterruptManager trait depend on an InterruptType forces
implementations into supporting potentially very different kind of
interrupts from the same code base. What we're defining through the
current, interrupt type based create_group() method is a need for having
different interrupt managers for different kind of interrupts.
By associating the InterruptManager trait to an interrupt group
configuration type, we create a cleaner design to support that need as
we're basically saying that one interrupt manager should have the single
responsibility of supporting one kind of interrupt (defined through its
configuration).

We create 2 different interrupt managers for separately handling
creation of legacy and MSI interrupt groups.
Doing so allows us to have a cleaner interrupt manager and IOAPIC
initialization path. It also prepares for an InterruptManager trait
design improvement where we remove the interrupt source type dependency
by associating an interrupt configuration type to the trait.

This commit improves the existing virtio-blk implementation, allowing
for better I/O performance. The cost for the end user is to accept
allocating more vCPUs to the virtual machine, so that multiple I/O
threads can run in parallel.

amount of queues dedicated to the virtio-blk device.

to the default values used for vhost-user-blk, that is 1 for the number
of queues and 128 for the queue size.
