The support of AArch64 is in very early stage. The steps in building and
runing on X86 and AArch64 can not align well yet. Adding AArch64 content
to README.md would produce much divergence.
Adding a guide in docs/ folder could be a better way to start now.

X86 and AArch64 work in different ways to shutdown a VM.
X86 exit VMM event loop through ACPI device;
AArch64 need to exit from CPU loop of a SystemEvent.

For correctness, when the CPUID supports the LA57 feature, the VMM sets
the CR4.LA57 register, which means a fifth level of page table might be
needed. Even if it's not needed because the kernel should not use
addresses over 1GiB, it's better to define this new level anyway.
This patch only applies to the Linux boot codepath, which means it
affects both vmlinux without PVH and bzImage binaries. The bzImage
does not need this since the page tables and CR4 registers are set in
the decompression code from the kernel.
And for vmlinux with PVH, if we follow the PVH specification, the kernel
must be responsible for setting things up, but the implementation is
missing. This means for now that PVH does not support LA57 with 5 levels
of paging.

Some CPUs might support up to 52 bits of addressable space, that's the
reason why we need the guest kernel to support 5 levels of page table.
Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <sebastien.boeuf@intel.com>
In order to workaround a Linux bug that happens when we place devices at
the end of the physical address space on recent hardware (52 bits limit)
we reduce the MMIO address space by one 4k page. This way, nothing gets
allocated in the last 4k of the address space, which is negligible given
the amount of space in the address space.

Currently released vm-memory uses aligned and volatile copying for all

This commit adds the implementation for the AArch64 PL031
Real Time Clock (RTC) that provides a long time base counter. This
is achieved by generating an interrupt signal after counting a
programmed number of cycles of a real-time clock input. The AArch64
guest VM of the cloud-hypervisor will use this RTC to sync the time
in itself.

The action of "vm.delete" should not report errors on non-booted
VMs. This patch also revised the "docs/api.md" to reflect the right
'Prerequisites' of different API actions, e.g. on "vm.delete" and
"vm.boot".

This removes the need to use CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges and instead the
host MAC addres is either provided by the user or alternatively it is
retrieved from the kernel.
TEST=Run cloud-hypervisor without CAP_NET_ADMIN permission and a
preconfigured tap device:
sudo ip tuntap add name tap0 mode tap
sudo ifconfig tap0 192.168.249.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
cargo clean
cargo build
target/debug/cloud-hypervisor --serial tty --console off --kernel ~/src/rust-hypervisor-firmware/target/target/release/hypervisor-fw --disk path=~/workloads/clear-33190-kvm.img --net tap=tap0

In AArch64 prototype, there are code to construct the flattened device
tree, and to make such code compilable we need to install libfdt-dev. In
normal situation, this installation process can be done by either installing
libfdt-dev locally or in the development container.
Before formal AArch64 CI is setup, we use the workaround in this commit
to install libfdt in the github cross-build workflow.

This commit adds ported code of Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC)
software implementation for AArch64, including both GICv2 and

interrupt controller for AArch64.
