The cache= option from the virtiofsd backend is meant to be used
depending on how the user wants to use the guest page cache. For most
use cases, we want to bypass the guest page cache to reduce the guest
memory footprint, which is why "cache=none" should be the default.
"cache=always" is the other option when the user wants to do something
specific by using the guest page cache, but should not be the default
anymore.

Because the L2 VM running in the VFIO integration test is actually
running as L3 (since the CI runs in a VM), it can take quite some
time for this VM to boot.
The way to solve this issue is to extend the sleep time before to try
communicating with the L2 VM, but also to speed up the boot time by
using virtio-console instead of serial. We suspect the use of serial,
implying PIO VM exits for each character on the serial port is quite
expensive compared to the paravirtualized console.

The default number of MSI-X vector allocated was 2, which is the minimum
defined by the virtio specification. The reason for this minimum is that
virtio needs at least one interrupt to signal that configuration changed
and at least one to specify something happened regarding the virtqueues.
But this current implementation is not optimal because our VMM supports
as many MSI-X vectors as allowed by the MSI-X specification (2048 max).
For that reason, the current patch relies on the number of virtqueues
needed by the virtio device to determine the right amount of MSI-X
vectors needed. It's important not to forget the dedicated vector for
any configuration change too.
