Pvmemcontrol provides a way for the guest to control its physical memory
properties, and enables optimizations and security features. For
example, the guest can provide information to the host where parts of a
hugepage may be unbacked, or sensitive data may not be swapped out, etc.
Pvmemcontrol allows guests to manipulate its gPTE entries in the SLAT,
and also some other properties of the memory map the back's host memory.
This is achieved by using the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability. When this
capability is available, the changes in the backing of the memory region
on the host are automatically reflected into the guest. For example, an
mmap() or madvise() that affects the region will be made visible
immediately.
There are two components of the implementation: the guest Linux driver
and Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) device. A guest-allocated shared
buffer is negotiated per-cpu through a few PCI MMIO registers, the VMM
device assigns a unique command for each per-cpu buffer. The guest
writes its pvmemcontrol request in the per-cpu buffer, then writes the
corresponding command into the command register, calling into the VMM
device to perform the pvmemcontrol request.
The synchronous per-cpu shared buffer approach avoids the kick and busy
waiting that the guest would have to do with virtio virtqueue transport.
The Cloud Hypervisor component can be enabled with --pvmemcontrol.

In 42e9632c53 a fix was made to address a
typo in the taplo configuration file. Fixing this typo indicated that
many Cargo.toml files were no longer adhering to the formatting rules.
Fix the formatting by running `taplo fmt`.

This patch bumps the following crates, including `kvm-bindings@0.7.0`*,
`kvm-ioctls@0.16.0`**, `linux-loader@0.11.0`, `versionize@0.2.0`,
`versionize_derive@0.1.6`***, `vhost@0.10.0`,
`vhost-user-backend@0.13.1`, `virtio-queue@0.11.0`, `vm-memory@0.14.0`,
`vmm-sys-util@0.12.1`, and the latest of `vfio-bindings`, `vfio-ioctls`,
`mshv-bindings`,`mshv-ioctls`, and `vfio-user`.
* A fork of the `kvm-bindings` crate is being used to support
serialization of various structs for migration [1]. Also, code changes
are made to accommodate the updated `struct xsave` from the Linux
kernel. Note: these changes related to `struct xsave` break
live-upgrade.
** The new `kvm-ioctls` crate introduced breaking changes for
the `get/set_one_reg` API on `aarch64` [2], so code changes are made to
the new APIs.
*** A fork of the `versionize_derive` crate is being used to support
versionize on packed structs [3].

This patch adds igvm to the Vm config and params as well as
the command line argument to pass igvm file to load into
guest memory. The file must maintain the IGVM format.
The CLI option is featured guarded by igvm feature gate.
The IGVM(Independent Guest Virtual Machine) file format
is designed to encapsulate all information required to
launch a virtual machine on any given virtualization stack,
with support for different isolation technologies such as
AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX.
At a conceptual level, this file format is a set of commands created
by the tool that generated the file, used by the loader to construct
the initial guest state. The file format also contains measurement
information that the underlying platform will use to confirm that
the file was loaded correctly and signed by the appropriate authorities.
The IGVM file is generated by the tool:

The IGVM file is parsed by the following crates:

Partially revert 111225a2a5
and add the new dbus and pvpanic arguments.
As we are switching back to clap observe the following changes.
A few examples:
1. `-v -v -v` needs to be written as`-vvv`
2. `--disk D1 --disk D2` and others need to be written as `--disk D1 D2`.
3. `--option value` needs to be written as `--option=value.`
Change integration tests to adapt to the breaking changes.
