From a VirtioPciDevice perspective, there are two types of BARs, either
the virtio configuration BAR or the SHaredMemory BAR.
The SHaredMemory BAR address comes from the virtio device directly as
the memory region had been previously allocated when the virtio device
has been created. So for this BAR, there's nothing to do when restoring
a VM, since the associated virtio device is already restored with the
appropriate resources, hence the BAR will already be at the right
address.
The remaining configuration BAR is different, as we usually get its
address from the SystemAllocator. This means in case we restore a VM,
we must provide this value, bypassing the allocator. This is what this
commit takes care of, by letting the caller set the base address for the
configuration BAR prior to allocating the BARs.

Upon a virtio reset, the driver expects that available and used indexes
will be reset to 0. That's why we need to reset these values from the
VMM for any virtio device that might get reset.
This issue was not detected before because the Vec<Queue> maintained
through VirtioPciDevice or MmioDevice was never updated from the virtio
device thread after the device had been actived. For this reason, upon
reset, both available and used indexes were already at the value 0.
The issue arose when trying to reset a device after the VM was restored.
That's because during the restore, each queue is assigned with the right
available and used indexes before it is passed to the device through the
activate function. And that's why upon reset, each queue was still
assigned with these indexes while it should have been reset to 0.

FS_IO is part of the actions a vhost-user-fs daemon can ask the VMM to
perform on its behalf. It is meant to read/write the content from a file
descriptor directly into a guest memory region. This region can either
be a RAM region or the dedicated cache region for virtio-fs.
The way FS_IO was implemented, it was only expecting the guest physical
address provided through the "cache_offset" field to refer to the cache
region. Unfortunately, this was only implementing FS_IO partially.
This patch extends the existing FS_IO implementation by checking the GPA
against the cache region as a first step, but if it is not part of the
cache region address range, then we fallback onto searching for a RAM
region that could match. If there is a matching RAM region, we retrieve
the corresponding host address to let the VMM read/write from/to it.

On the restore path, using the available and used indexes read from
memory to fill the Queue structure was a mistake. Indeed, the available
index is written from the guest and it reflects the last available index
in the descriptor table. But the driver might have queued a lot of
buffers which have not yet been used by the device. This leads to a
situation where the next_avail from Queue is completely different from
the one we can read from memory.
Instead, the right way to determine the next_avail index that should be
used by the device is by relying on the used index from the memory. This
index represents the correct information we're looking for as it has
been updated before the snapshot to let the guest know the next index to
process.

First, this modifies the existing helpers on how to get indexes for
available and used rings from memory. Instead of updating the queue
through each helper, they are now used as simple getters.
Based on these new getters, we could create a new helper to determine if

side. This helper is going to be particularly helpful when trying to
determine from a virtio thread if a queue is already loaded with some
available buffers that can be used to send information to the guest.

In the context of the shared memory region used by virtio-fs in order to
support DAX feature, the shared region is exposed as a dedicated PCI
BAR, and it is backed by a KVM userspace mapping.
Upon BAR remapping, the BAR is moved to a different location in the
guest address space, and the KVM mapping must be updated accordingly.
Additionally, we need the VirtioDevice to report the updated guest
address through the shared memory region returned by get_shm_regions().
That's why a new setter is added to the VirtioDevice trait, so that
after the mapping has been updated for KVM, we can tell the VirtioDevice

When a virtio device is paused an event is written to the appropriate
"pause" EventFd for the device. This will be noticed by the the device's
epoll_wait(), an atomic bool checked an if true then the thread is
parked(). When resuming the bool is reset and the thread is unpark()ed.
However the event triggering the pause is still in the EventFd so the
epoll_wait() will continue to return but because the boolean is not set
the thread will not be park()ed but instead we will busy loop around an
event that is not being consumed.
The solution is to drain the "pause" EventFd when the event is first
received and thus the epoll_wait() will only return for the pause event
once. This resolves the infinite epoll_wait() wake-ups.
