Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.

This can be uses to indicate to the caller that it should wait on the
barrier before returning as there is some asynchronous activity
triggered by the write which requires the KVM exit to block until it's
completed.
This is useful for having vCPU thread wait for the VMM thread to proceed
to activate the virtio devices.

This removes the dependency of the pci crate on the devices crate which
now only contains the device implementations themselves.

OVMF and other standard firmwares use I/O port 0x402 as a simple debug
port by writing ASCII characters to it. This is gated under a feature
that is not enabled by default.
