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".

We use the serde crate to serialize and deserialize the VmVConfig
structure. This structure will be passed from the HTTP API caller as a
JSON payload and we need to deserialize it into a VmConfig.
For a convenient use of the HTTP API, we also provide Default traits
implementations for some of the VmConfig fields (vCPUs, memory, etc...).

The linux_loader crate Cmdline struct is not serializable.
Instead of forcing the upstream create to carry a serde dependency, we
simply use a String for the passed command line and build the actual
CmdLine when we need it (in vm::new()).
Also, the cmdline offset is not a configuration knob, so we remove it.

They point to a vm_virtio structure (VhostUserConfig) and in order to
make the whole config serializable (through the serde crate for
example), we'd have to add a serde dependency to the vm_virtio crate.
Instead we use a local, serializable structure and convert it to
VhostUserConfig from the DeviceManager code.

The kernel path was the only mandatory command line option.
With the addition of the --api-socket option, we can run without a
kernel path and get it later through the API.
Since we can end up with VM configurations that are no longer valid by
default, we need to provide a validation check for it. For now, if the
kernel path is not defined, the VM configuration is invalid.

In order to support the more performant version of virtio-fs, that is
the one relying on a shared memory region between host and guest, we
introduce two new parameters to the --fs device.
The "dax" parameter allows the user to choose if he wants to use the
shared memory region with virtio-fs. By default, this parameter is "on".
The "cache_size" parameter allows the user to specify the amount of
memory that should be shared between host and guest. By default, the
value of this parameter is 8Gib as advised by virtio-fs maintainers.
Note that dax=off and cache_size are incompatible.

Poor performance was observed when booting kernels with "console=ttyS0"
and the serial port disabled.
This change introduces a "null" console output mode and makes it the
default for the serial console. In this case the serial port
is advertised as per other output modes but there is no input and any
output is dropped.

(default and current behaviour) and "file=/path/to/file".
When "--serial off" is used the serial device is not added to the VM

This patch plumbs the virtio-pmem device to the VMM. By adding a new
command line option "--pmem", we can now expose some persistent memory
to the guest OS, backed by the provided source.
The point of having such support in cloud-hypervisor is to be able to
share some memory between the host and the guest as DAXable.
One interesting use case is to boot directly from an image passed
through virtio-pmem, instead of going through virtio-blk. This can
allow good performances while avoiding the guest cache, which would
prevent the VM memory footprint from growing too much.

The command line parsing of the user input was not properly
abstracted from the vmm specific code. In the case of --net,
the parsing was done when the device manager was adding devices.
In order to fix this confusion, this patch introduces a new
module "config" dedicated to the translation of a VmParams
structure into a VmCfg structure. The former is built based
on the input provided by the user, while the latter is the
result of the parsing of every options.
VmCfg is meant to be consumed by the vmm specific code, and
it is also a fully public structure so that it can directly
be built from a testing environment.
