The kernel version is updated from 5.5-rc1 to 5.6-rc4, including the
updated kernel config file.
The kernel branch contains virtio-fs, virtio-iommu and virtio-mem
patches that are not upstream yet. It also contains one fix for
virtio-vsock which will be merged upstream in the next release.

This option improves the security of the guest by randomising the start
address of the kernel in physical memory. We should turn this on so as
to ensure all our functionality such as memory hotplug and kernel
loading works as this is an option used widely in production.

The script is a development tool that runs all commands in a dedicated
container. This allows for containerized, isolated and reproducible
builds and CI runs.
The script supports the following command:
* build: Build Cloud Hypervisor binaries (debug and release)
* build-container: Build the container used by the script
* tests: Run unit, cargo and integration tests
$ ./scripts/dev_cli.sh help
Cloud Hypervisor dev_cli.sh
Usage: dev_cli.sh <command> [<command args>]
Available commands:
build [--debug|--release] [-- [<cargo args>]]
Build the Cloud Hypervisor binaries.
--debug Build the debug binaries. This is the default.
--release Build the release binaries.
tests [--unit|--cargo|--all]
Run the Cloud Hypervisor tests.
--unit Run the unit tests.
--cargo Run the cargo tests.
--integration Run the integration tests.
--all Run all tests.
build-container [--type]

Because of the new set of patches related to virtio-iommu allowing only
for the topology to be described through virtio configuration, this
patch updates the kernel branch and the kernel configuration our CI
relies on.

Update the kernel build instructions to use the configuration and branch
that we test and develop against.

Following the recent addition of CONFIG_EXPERT=y, the kernel config now
asks for several options through interactive shell. This is not
convenient when locally running the integration tests script as the
shell asks for input.

Because we want both early support for virtio-fs and virtio-iommu, our
custom kernel is now based on the kernel branch virtio-fs-virtio-iommu.

In order to support nested virtualization and nested device passthrough
from our CI tests, we need some extra kernel configuration options to be
enabled.
CONFIG_KVM and CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION for nested virtualization.
CONFIG_VFIO for nested device passthrough.
CONFIG_VIRTIO_IOMMU and CONFIG_ACPI_IORT for virtio-iommu support.
With all these new options applied, we can leverage virtio-iommu to
attach some VFIO devices to it and pass them through a second layer of
virtualization.

The existing integration tests are extended to support both use cases
where dax=on and dax=off.
In order to support DAX, the kernel configuration needs to be updated to
include CONFIG_FS_DAX and CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE.

The last kernel we were using included some manual porting of the
virtio-pmem and virtio-fs patches. By moving to 5.3-rc3, we are now
closer to upstream since the virtio-pmem patches are part of the linux
kernel now. Additionally, this includes the latest patches from
virtio-fs maintainers, which works with the latest version of virtiofsd.

This commit introduces the testing of the --fs option based on the
virtio-fs implementation. This does not simply add a test, but also
updates the integration script by generating a new kernel embedding
the virtio-fs patches and by downloading the virtiofsd daemon.

Remove some of the kernel configuration options that are not necessary
for manual testing and for testing with the CI in order to reduce the
kernel build time.

This is helpful and actually needed to ensure everyone is testing
from the same kernel reference.
