Sebastien Boeuf 34bb31791b vm-device: Add new crate for virtio and VFIO agnostic traits
The new crate vm-device is created here to host the definitions of
traits not meant to be tied to virtio of VFIO specifically. We need to
add a new trait to update external DMA mappings for devices, which is
why the vm-device crate is the right fit for this.

We can expect this crate to be extended later once the design gets
approved from a rust-vmm perspective.

In this specific use case, we can have some devices like VFIO or
vhost-user ones requiring to be notified about mapping updates. This
new trait ExternalDmaMapping will allow such devices to implement their
own way to handle such event.
