Add 2 integration tests to validate virtio-pmem works as expected.
One test takes care of checking the ability to read and write to this
persistent memory from the guest, and validates that the data is
carried over the virtualization boundary.
The other test ensures the VM can be booted directly from an image
that would be passed through virtio-pmem.

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 previous commit introduced a userspace implementation of an IOAPIC
and this commits aims to plumb it into the cloud-hypervisor VMM.
Here is the list of new things brought by this patch:
- Update the rust-vmm/kvm-ioctls dependency to benefit from latest
patches including the support for split irqchip, and the vector
being returned when a VM exit is caused by an EOI.
- Enable the split irqchip (which means no IOAPIC or PIC is emulated
in kernel). This is done conditionally based on the support of the
TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER from both KVM and the underlying CPU. The
dependency on TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER is related to KVM which does not
support creating the in kernel PIT if it has a split irqchip.
- Rely on callbacks to handle the following use cases:
- in kernel IOAPIC + serial IRQ (pin based)
- in kernel IOAPIC + virtio-pci MSI-X
- in kernel IOAPIC + virtio-pci IRQ (pin based)
- userspace IOAPIC + serial IRQ (pin based)
- userspace IOAPIC + virtio-pci MSI-X
- userspace IOAPIC + virtio-pci IRQ (pin based)

The goal for cloud-hypervisor is to keep the host safe. With this in
mind, we want to emulate as much as possible in userspace instead of
in kernel directly.
The IOAPIC is a good candidate to move from kernel to userspace, which
is why this commit introduces a userspace implementation of the IOAPIC
82093AA based on the documentation:
https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2016/readings/ia32/ioapic.pdf
This code is inspired from the files devices/src/ioapic.rs and
devices/src/split_irqchip_common.rs from the crosvm codebase. The
reference version used being 6c1e23eee3065b3f3d6fc4fb992ac9884dbabf68.

This commit anticipate the future need from having support for both
in kernel and userspace IOAPIC. The way to signal an interrupt from
the serial device will vary depending on the use case, but this should
be independent from the serial implementation itself.
That's why this patch provides a generic trait for the serial device
to call from, so that it can trigger interrupts independently from the
IOAPIC type chosen (in kernel vs userspace).

As mentioned in the KVM documentation, TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER feature
needs some special checks to validate that it is supported as the
cpuid will always report it as disabled.
We need to use the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl to request the value
of KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER. In case it is supported through
the local APIC emulation provided by the CREATE_IRQCHIP in KVM,
we have to set manually this feature by patching the cpuid.
Here quoted from the KVM documentation:
```
The TSC deadline timer feature (CPUID leaf 1, ecx[24]) is always
returned as false, since the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
for local APIC support. Instead it is reported via
ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER)
if that returns true and you use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, or if you
emulate the feature in userspace, then you can enable the feature
for KVM_SET_CPUID2.
```
This patch implements the behavior described above, and this allows
the VMM to remove the emulated Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) when
the TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER feature can be enabled.

When the KVM capability KVM_CAP_SIGNAL_MSI is not present, the VMM
falls back from MSI-X onto pin based interrupts. Unfortunately, this
was not working as expected because the VirtioPciDevice object was
always creating an MSI-X capability structure in the PCI configuration
space. This was causing the guest drivers to expect MSI-X interrupts
instead of the pin based generated ones.
This patch takes care of avoiding the creation of a dedicated MSI-X
capability structure when MSI is not supported by KVM.

As mentioned in the PCI specification, the Function Mask from the
Message Control Register can be set to prevent a device from injecting
MSI-X messages. This supersedes the vector masking as it interacts at
the device level.
Here quoted from the specification:
For MSI and MSI-X, while a vector is masked, the function is prohibited
from sending the associated message, and the function must set the
associated Pending bit whenever the function would otherwise send the
message. When software unmasks a vector whose associated Pending bit is
set, the function must schedule sending the associated message, and
clear the Pending bit as soon as the message has been sent. Note that
clearing the MSI-X Function Mask bit may result in many messages
needing to be sent.
This commit implements the behavior described above by reorganizing
the way the PCI configuration space is being written. It is indeed
important to be able to catch a change in the Message Control
Register without having to implement it for every PciDevice
implementation. Instead, the PciConfiguration has been modified to
take care of handling any update made to this register.

The current MSI-X implementation completely ignores the values found
in the Vector Control register related to a specific vector, and never
updates the Pending Bit Array.
According to the PCI specification, MSI-X vectors can be masked
through the Vector Control register on bit 0. If this bit is set,
the device should not inject any MSI message. When the device
runs into such situation, it must not inject the interrupt, but
instead it must update the bit corresponding to the vector number
in the Pending Bit Array.
Later on, if/when the Vector Control register is updated, and if
the bit 0 is flipped from 0 to 1, the device must look into the PBA
to find out if there was a pending interrupt for this specific
vector. If that's the case, an MSI message is injected and the
bit from the PBA is cleared.

As mentioned in the PCI specification:
If a dedicated Base Address register is not feasible, it is
recommended that a function isolate the MSI-X structures from
the non-MSI-X structures with aligned 8 KB ranges rather than
the mandatory aligned 4 KB ranges.

BAR is 8KiB aligned.

up to 2048 vectors, as specified for MSI-X.

Because we cannot always assume the irq fd will be the way to send
an IRQ to the guest, this means we cannot make the assumption that
every virtio device implementation should expect an EventFd to
trigger an IRQ.
This commit organizes the code related to virtio devices so that it
now expects a Rust closure instead of a known EventFd. This lets the
caller decide what should be done whenever a device needs to trigger
an interrupt to the guest.
The closure will allow for other type of interrupt mechanism such as
MSI to be implemented. From the device perspective, it could be a
pin based interrupt or an MSI, it does not matter since the device
will simply call into the provided callback, passing the appropriate
Queue as a reference. This design keeps the device model generic.
