Previously, `into_raw_fd()` transferred fd ownership to epoll while
keeping separate clones in `reader` and `writer`, causing leaks when
the stream was closed. Now, `reader` owns the fd and epoll borrows it.
When the FD is closed in the kernel, reader will be reset to None.

When enabling amx feature, we should call arch_prctl to request
permission to use tile data for guest. The permission should be
requested before the first vcpu is created, so we need to call
arch_prctl in vmm thread. This patch adds the arch_prctl syscall for
vmm_thread_rules.

This helps to uncover expensive and needless clones in the code base.
For example, I prevented extensive clones in the snapshot path where
(nested) BTreeMap's have been cloned over and over again. Further,
the lint helps devs to much better reason about the ownership of
parameters.
All of these changes have been done manually with the necessary
caution. A few structs that are cheap to clone are now `copy` so that
this lint won't trigger for them.
I didn't enable the lint so far as it is a massive rabbit hole and
needs much more fixes. Nevertheless, it is very useful.

This API passes a u64 to a kernel API that treats the u64 as a userspace
address. Therefore, it should be marked unsafe, but it currently is not
[1]. Wrap the call in an unsafe block to document that invariants must
be upheld to avoid undefined behavior. This causes a compiler warning,
so suppress the warning with #[allow(unused_unsafe)].

To ensure that struct sizes are the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, various
kernel APIs use __u64 (Rust u64) to represent userspace pointers.
Userspace is expected to cast pointers to __u64 before passing them to
the kernel, and cast kernel-provided __u64 to a pointer before using
them. However, various safe APIs in Cloud Hypervisor took
caller-provided u64 values and passed them to syscalls that interpret
them as userspace addresses. Therefore, passing bad u64 values would
cause memory disclosure or corruption.
Fix the bug by using usize and pointer types as appropriate. To make
soundness of the code easier to reason about, the PCI code gains a new
MmapRegion abstraction that ensures the validity of pointers. The rest
of the code already has an MmapRegion abstraction it can use. To avoid
having to reason about whether something is keeping the MmapRegion
alive, reference counting is added. MmapRegion cannot hold references
to other objects, so the reference counting cannot introduce cycles.

... by just passing the iterator along. For large VMs this bitmap is
gigantic. A 12TB VM has 384MB of dirty bitmap.
With all these optimizations from the previous commits in place, we
see quite the improvement when it comes to scanning the dirty bitmap.
For a bitmap with 1% bits (randomly) set, dirty_log() takes:
Original code: 2166ms (100.0%)
New code: 382ms ( 17.6%)
on my system. The sparser the dirty bitmap the faster. Scanning an
empty bitmap is 100x faster. For a 5% populated bitmap we are still 3x
faster.

Resignal every 10ms the thread if it has not acknowledged the signal via
setting the atomic when the vCPU thread was acknowledged. Further, avoid
an infinite loop by generating an error if it takes more than 1000ms to
interrupt the thread.
The retry helps mitigate a race condition where the signal is received
between checking the pause atomic and entering KVM_RUN ioctl when
pausing. Hitting this race condition would leave the
wait_untial_signal_acknowledged() method spinning indefinitely.
The timeout error avoids the VMM process being blocked indefinitely.

Fix a race condition that happens in resume()-pause() cycles.
It is odd that for pause(), the CpuManager waited via `state.paused`
for the vCPU thread to ACK the state change but not for `resume()`.
In the `resume()` case, oddly CpuManager "owned" the state change
in `state.paused`. This commit changes this so that the vCPU ACKs
its state change itself in `state.paused` when it transitions from
pause->run. Further, `CpuManager::resume()` now gracefully waits for
the vCPU to be resumed.
More technical:
This change ensures proper synchronization and prevents situations
in that park() follows right after unpark(), causing deadlocks and
other weird behavior due to race conditions.
Calling resume() now takes slightly longer, very similar to pause().
This is, however, even for 254 vCPUs in the range of less than 10ms,
and ultimately we now have correct behaviour.
## Reproducer
Since [0] is merged, the underlying problem can be tested without this
commit by modifying the pause() API call to run `CpuManager::pause()`
and `CpuManager::resume()` in a loop a thousand times.
`ch-remote --api-socket ... pause`

## Outlook
Decades of experience in VMM development showed us that using
many AtomicBools is a footgun. They are not synchronized with each
other at all. On the long term, we might want to refactor things to
have a single shared AtomicU64 with different bits having different
meanings.

## TL;DR
This unifies error handling, implementation, and logging of config
objects that are populated with additional FDs received as part of
the HTTP API request from the management software. This prevents current
and future code in repetition.
In the future, if we want to support let's say virtio-blk with external
FDs, the AddBlk API handler simply needs a call to `attach_fds_to_cfg()`
and gets all the magic for free.
## Motivation
The motivation of the new abstraction is to provide a verbose, solid,
and bulletproof solution for a complex domain. The interaction between
- the management layer,
- the passing of file descriptors over UNIX domain sockets via
SCM_RIGHTS,
- the attachment of configurations to those FDs,
- and the ability to give new developers clear insights into what
happens under the hood
is not trivial. These factors justify encapsulating the complexity
behind a convenient and well-documented abstraction, making the system
both robust in production and approachable for new developers.
In addition, it allows us to perform unit testing. Further, We get rid
of existing partial code duplication and inconsistencies.
Finally, while this approach may initially result in more code, every
new handler that accepts FDs benefits from reduced duplication and a
correct implementation by relying on the shared abstraction. This will
also enable future functionality, such as virtio-blk devices backed by
FDs which can then be integrated with ease.

(1) The old messages are missing the "why" part. With this change, users
of Cloud Hypervisor have somehow more context and people looking at
the code perfectly know what's going on.
(2) Using warn! implies that the user should take action, but in this
case, there’s nothing the user can do. If the API is used correctly
and file descriptors are passed via an SCM_RIGHTS message over a
UNIX domain socket, everything works as intended. In that case,
there's no need to issue a warning — debug! is sufficient.
