Add support for opening the disk images with O_DIRECT. This allows
bypassing the host's file system cache, which is useful to avoid
polluting its cache and for better data integrity.
This mode of operation can be enabled by adding the "direct=<bool>"
parameter to the "backend" argument:
./target/debug/vhost_user_blk --backend image=test.raw,sock=/tmp/vhostblk,direct=true
The "direct" parameter defaults to "false", to preserve the original
behavior.

Use RawFile as backend instead of File. This allows us to abstract
the access to the actual image with a specialized layer, so we have a
place where we can deal with the low-level peculiarities.

Doing I/O on an image opened with O_DIRECT requires to adhere to
certain restrictions, requiring the following elements to be aligned:
- Address of the source/destination memory buffer.
- File offset.
- Length of the data to be read/written.
The actual alignment value depends on various elements, and according
to open(2) "(...) there is currently no filesystem-independent
interface for an application to discover these restrictions (...)".
To discover such value, we iterate through a list of alignments
(currently, 512 and 4096) calling pread() with each one and checking
if the operation succeeded.
We also extend RawFile so it can be used as a backend for QcowFile,
so the later can be easily adapted to support O_DIRECT too.

Update the common part in net_util.rs under vm-virtio to add mq
support, meanwhile enable mq for virtio-net device, vhost-user-net
device and vhost-user-net backend. Multiple threads will be created,
one thread will be responsible to handle one queue pair separately.
To gain the better performance, it requires to have the same amount
of vcpus as queue pair numbers defined for the net device, due to
the cpu affinity.
Multiple thread support is not added for vhost-user-net backend
currently, it will be added in future.

Current guest kernel will check the oneline cpu count, in principle,
if the online cpu count is not smaller than the number of queue pairs
VMM reported, the net packets could be put/get to all the virtqueues,
otherwise, only the number of queue pairs that match the oneline cpu
count will have packets work with. guest kernel will send command
through control queue to tell VMMs the actual queue pair numbers which
it could currently play with. Add mq process in control queue handling
to get the queue pair number, VMM will verify if it is in a valid range,
nothing else but this.

Use independent bits for storing whether there is a CPU or memory device
changed when reporting changes via ACPI GED interrupt. This prevents a
later notification squashing an earlier one and ensure that hotplugging

Add a "resize()" method on MemoryManager which will create a new memory
allocation based on the difference between the desired RAM amount and
the amount already in use. After allocating the added RAM using the same
backing method as the boot RAM store the details in a vector and update

When the value is read from the I/O port via the ACPI AML functions to
determine what has been triggered the notifiction value is reset
preventing a second read from exposing the value. If we need support
multiple types of GED notification (such as memory hotplug) then we
should avoid reading the value multiple times.

If neither PCI or MMIO are built in, we should not bother creating any
