Since memory zones have been introduced, it is now possible for a user
to specify multiple backends for the guest RAM. By adding a new option
'host_numa_node' to the 'memory-zone' parameter, we allow the guest RAM
to be backed by memory that might come from a specific NUMA node on the
host.
The option expects a node identifier, specifying which NUMA node should
be used to allocate the memory associated with a specific memory zone.

Implement seccomp; we use one filter for all threads.
The syscall list comes from the C daemon with syscalls added
as I hit them.
The default behaviour is to kill the process, this normally gets
audit logged.
--seccomp none disables seccomp
log Just logs violations but doesn't stop it
trap causes a signal to be be sent that can be trapped.
If you suspect you're hitting a seccomp action then you can
check the audit log; you could also switch to running with 'log'
to collect a bunch of calls to report.
To see where the syscalls are coming from use 'trap' with a debugger
or coredump to backtrace it.
This can be improved for some syscalls to restrict the parameters
to some syscalls to make them more restrictive.

Extended attributes (xattr) support has a huge impact on write

Signed-off-by: Sergio Lopez <slp@redhat.com>
This change enables vhost_user_fs to process multiple requests in
parallel by scheduling them into a ThreadPool (from the Futures

Parallelism on a single file is limited by the nature of the operation
executed on it. A recent commit replaced the Mutex that protects the
File within HandleData with a RwLock, to allow some operations (at
this moment, only "read" and "write") to proceed in parallel by
acquiring a read lock.
A more complex approach was also implemented [1], involving
instrumentation through vhost_user_backend to be able to serialize
completions, reducing the pressure on the vring RwLock. This strategy
improved the performance on some corner cases, while making it worse
on other, more common ones. This fact, in addition to it requiring
wider changes through the source code, prompted me to drop it in favor
of this one.

Add missing WCE (write-cache enable) property support. This not only
an enhancement, but also a fix for a bug.
Right now, when vhost_user_blk uses a qcow2 image, it doesn't write
the QCOW2 metadata until the guest explicitly requests a flush. In
practice, this is equivalent to the write back semantic.
Without WCE, the guest assumes write through for the virtio_blk
device, and doesn't send those flush requests. Adding support for WCE,
and enabling it by default, we ensure the guest does send said
requests.
Supporting "WCE = false" would require updating our qcow2
implementation to ensure that, when required, it honors the write
through semantics by not deferring the updates to QCOW2 metadata.

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.
