These new traits are meant to abstract the knowledge about the
hypervisor and the type of interrupt being used from the perspective
of the devices.

The vsock packets that we're building are resolving guest addresses to
host ones and use the latter as raw pointers.
If the corresponding guest mapped buffer spans across several regions in
the guest, they will do so in the host as well. Since we have no
guarantees that host regions are contiguous, it may lead the VMM into
trying to access memory outside of its memory space.
For now we fix that by ensuring that the guest buffers do not span
across several regions. If they do, we error out.
Ideally, we should enhance the rust-vmm memory model to support safe
acces across host regions.

The Migratable trait groups all expected capabilities of devices and
components that can be migrated.
For a component to be migrated, it must be able to pause and resume.
Once paused, it should be able to provide a snapshot of itself. It
should also be able to restore itself from a snaphot.
As a consequence, the Migratable trait will be split between the
Pausable and the Snapshotable traits. This commit only adds the
Pausable one.
All migratable devices will be tracked from the DeviceManager.

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.
