Hello all,

There is significant architecture change in the latest version to
support demand paging. Demand paging allows Linux to provide memory to
the guest when it wants -- only when guest tries to access the memory.
I wanted to post a version to collect some early feedback.

In particular, our implementation of guestmemfd is similar to KVM's
guest memfd: I'm curious to get community's thoughts on how (if at all)
to refactor both to share the common, generic bits. In particular, the
primary difference I see between KVM and Gunyah's implementation is how
we determine whether a page can be mapped to userspace, so I think there
is strong case here to share at least some of the implementation.

Also, I wanted to get any feedback if how folios are tracked for a
virtual machine seems correct: folios are initially allocated using
the filemap associated with the guest memfd. When guest tries to access
them, I use a maple tree to track folios that have been shares: the
indices are guest frame number and values are folio pointers. The
folio's ->private field is used to note whether the folio is available
to be mapped by Linux.

Some areas that still need testing/work is multi-threading and memory
reclaim while VM is running; the important bits are present in the
implementation and design, but not fully tested. The series is
capable of booting a Linux virtual machine, so while some areas aren't
finished, it is fairly complete.

Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor independent of any high-level OS kernel,
and runs in a higher CPU privilege level. It does not depend on any
lower-privileged OS kernel/code for its core functionality. This
increases its security and can support a much smaller trusted computing
base than a Type-2 hypervisor. Gunyah is designed for isolated virtual
machine use cases and to support launching trusted+isolated virtual
machines from a relatively less trusted host virtual machine.

Gunyah is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at
https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor.

The diagram below shows the architecture.

Gunyah provides these following features.

- Threads and Scheduling: The scheduler schedules virtual CPUs (VCPUs)
  on physical CPUs and enables time-sharing of the CPUs.
- Memory Management: Gunyah tracks memory ownership and use of all
  memory under its control. Memory partitioning between VMs is a
  fundamental security feature.
- Interrupt Virtualization: All interrupts are handled in the hypervisor
   and routed to the assigned VM.
- Inter-VM Communication: There are several different mechanisms
  provided for communicating between VMs.
- Device Virtualization: Para-virtualization of devices is supported
  using inter-VM communication. Low level system features and devices such
  as interrupt controllers are supported with emulation where required.

This series adds the basic framework for detecting that Linux is running
under Gunyah as a virtual machine, communication with the Gunyah
Resource Manager, and a sample virtual machine manager capable of
launching virtual machines.

Changes in v15:
 - First implementation of virtual machines backed by guestmemfd and
using demand paging to provide memory instead of all up front.
 - Use message queue hypercalls directly instead of traversing through
mailbox framework.

 - Tweaks to message queue driver to address race condition between IRQ
and mailbox registration
 - Allow removal of VM functions by function-specific comparison --
specifically to allow
   removing irqfd by label only and not requiring original FD to be
provided.
