With recent kernels, it is now expected to use "bind" control from the
sysfs in order to bind a specific device to the vfio-pci driver.
The use of "new_id" is still required but it is only needed once per
device type. Let's say you want to bind two virtio-net devices, you will
need to add the device_id:vendor_id pair through "new_id", while you
will be required to use "bind" for each device.

The MCRS method returns a 64-bit memory range descriptor. The
calculation is supposed to be done as follows:
max = min + len - 1
However, every operand is represented not as a QWORD but as combination
of two DWORDs for high and low part. Till now, the calculation was done
this way, please see also inline comments:
max.lo = min.lo + len.lo //this may overflow, need to carry over to high
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi
max.hi = max.hi - 1 // subtraction needs to happen on the low part
This calculation has been corrected the following way:
max.lo = min.lo + len.lo
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi + (max.lo < min.lo) // check for overflow
max.lo = max.lo - 1 // subtract from low part
The relevant part from the generated ASL for the MCRS method:
```

Add the new option 'hotplugged_size' to both --memory-zone and --memory
parameters so that we can let the user specify a certain amount of

This is also part of making sure we can store the virtio-mem size over a
reboot of the VM.

In anticipation for resizing support of an individual memory zone,
this commit introduces a new option 'hotplug_size' to '--memory-zone'
parameter. This defines the amount of memory that can be added through
each specific memory zone.
Because memory zone resize is tied to virtio-mem, make sure the user
selects 'virtio-mem' hotplug method, otherwise return an error.

The goal of this commit is to rename the existing NUMA option 'id' with
'guest_numa_id'. This is done without any modification to the way this
option behaves.
The reason for the rename is caused by the observation that all other
parameters with an option called 'id' expect a string to be provided.
Because in this particular case we expect a u32 representing a proximity
domain from the ACPI specification, it's better to name it with a more
explicit name.
