5ec1e66e22 vmm: Refactor amx tile state component enabling logic
We enable AMX tile state components via the hypervisor (as introduced
in the previous commit) instead of doing this inline in the body of
`CpuManager::new`.

dbb148b216 vmm: refactor live migration receive into state machine
Previously, state that we accumulated during the migration process in
the receiver was kept in `mut Option` variables or HashMaps. The
problem is that it is unclear in the code when these variables can be
safely used. It's also difficult to add new state, such as the state
we need to handle the upcoming feature for performing the migration
using multiple connections.

To solve this, I've refactored the code to use the state machine
pattern. Each state carries the data it needs to. Any state that
didn't arrive yet (memory_files, memory_manager) cannot be accessed
until we are in the proper state.

Some benefits that fall out of this:

- We now respond to all requests, even invalid ones, at least with an
  error message.
- Any error handling a request will result in an error message being
  sent.
- There is only a single place where responses are sent and thus it's
  very hard to mess this up in the code.
- The main protocol state machine fits on a screen.

I would argue that especially the error cases are now much more
consistent. There is still a lot to be done. There is still state
transfer via self.vm and similar. In an ideal world, this would also
be carried by the state machine. I also want to see better handling of
payloads, which are still handled all over the place, but this change
is already too big. :)

c53781bf5f misc: clippy: add needless_pass_by_value
This is a follow-up of [0].

# Advantages

- This saves dozens of unneeded clone()s across the whole code base
- Makes it much easier to reason about how parameters are used
  (often we passed owned Arc/Rc versions without actually needing
  ownership)

# Exceptions

For certain code paths, the alternatives would require awkward or overly
complex code, and in some cases the functions are the logical owners of
the values they take. In those cases, I've added
#[allow(clippy::needless_pass_by_value)].

This does not mean that one should not improve this in the future.

6a86c157af misc: clippy: add needless_pass_by_value (partially)
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.

42522a88c0 misc: do not use u64 to represent host pointers
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.

b6c266c880 vmm: avoid creating large temporary vector during migration
... 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.

If someone wants to play with this, there is a benchmark harness here:

e023efce3d vmm: cpu: Retry signalling the vCPU thread if it doesn't acknowledge
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.

d39b56544a vmm: fix CpuManager::resume(): gracefully wait for run vCPU loop ACK
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`

```patch
diff --git a/vmm/src/vm.rs b/vmm/src/vm.rs

## 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.
