In case a VFIO devices is being attached behind a virtual IOMMU, we
should not automatically map the entire guest memory for the specific
device.
A VFIO device attached to the virtual IOMMU will be driven with IOVAs,
hence we should simply wait for the requests coming from the virtual
IOMMU.

When VFIO devices are created and if the device is attached to the
virtual IOMMU, the ExternalDmaMapping trait implementation is created
and associated with the device. The idea is to build a hash map of
device IDs with their associated trait implementation.
This hash map is provided to the virtual IOMMU device so that it knows
how to properly trigger external mappings associated with VFIO devices.

This patch relies on the trait implementation provided for each device
which requires some sort of external update based on a map or unmap.
Whenever a MAP or UNMAP request comes through the virtqueues, it
triggers a call to the external mapping trait with map()/unmap()
functions being invoked.
Those external mappings are meant to be used from VFIO and vhost-user
devices as they need to update their own mappings. In case of VFIO, the
goal is to update the DMAR table in the physical IOMMU, while vhost-user
devices needs to update their internal representation of the virtqueues.

The new crate vm-device is created here to host the definitions of
traits not meant to be tied to virtio of VFIO specifically. We need to
add a new trait to update external DMA mappings for devices, which is
why the vm-device crate is the right fit for this.
We can expect this crate to be extended later once the design gets
approved from a rust-vmm perspective.
In this specific use case, we can have some devices like VFIO or
vhost-user ones requiring to be notified about mapping updates. This
new trait ExternalDmaMapping will allow such devices to implement their
own way to handle such event.

This patch attaches VFIO devices to the virtual IOMMU if they are
identified as they should be, based on the option "iommu=on". This
simply takes care of adding the PCI device ID to the ACPI IORT table.

Having the virtual IOMMU created with --iommu is one thing, but we also
need a way to decide if a VFIO device should be attached to the virtual
IOMMU or not. That's why we introduce an extra option "iommu" with the
value "on" or "off". By default, the device is not attached, which means
"iommu=off".

In order to pause a VM, we signal all the vCPU threads to get them out
of vmx non-root. Once out, the vCPU thread will check for a an atomic

Because the L2 VM running in the VFIO integration test is actually
running as L3 (since the CI runs in a VM), it can take quite some
time for this VM to boot.
The way to solve this issue is to extend the sleep time before to try
communicating with the L2 VM, but also to speed up the boot time by
using virtio-console instead of serial. We suspect the use of serial,
implying PIO VM exits for each character on the serial port is quite
expensive compared to the paravirtualized console.

Now that our custom kernel includes all the patches for the full support

In order to support nested virtualization and nested device passthrough
from our CI tests, we need some extra kernel configuration options to be
enabled.
CONFIG_KVM and CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION for nested virtualization.
CONFIG_VFIO for nested device passthrough.
CONFIG_VIRTIO_IOMMU and CONFIG_ACPI_IORT for virtio-iommu support.
With all these new options applied, we can leverage virtio-iommu to
attach some VFIO devices to it and pass them through a second layer of
virtualization.

This commit is the glue between the virtio-pci devices attached to the
vIOMMU, and the IORT ACPI table exposing them to the guest as sitting

An important thing is the trait implementation provided to the virtio
vrings for each device attached to the vIOMMU, as they need to perform
proper address translation before they can access the buffers.
