8ec89bc884 misc: Update to new repository locations
Update all references to the new repository locations. Many of these will

this is required to allow the builds to pass.

4b8d7e718d vmm: Add iommu=on|off option for --disk
Having the virtual IOMMU created with --iommu is one thing, but we also
need a way to decide if a virtio-blk device should be attached to this
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".

One side effect of this new option is that we had to introduce a new
option for the disk path, simply called "path=".
