Crate vm_memory

Traits for allocating, handling and interacting with the VM's physical memory.

For a typical hypervisor, there are seveval components, such as boot loader, virtual device drivers, virtio backend drivers and vhost drivers etc, that need to access VM's physical memory. This crate aims to provide a set of stable traits to decouple VM memory consumers from VM memory providers. Based on these traits, VM memory consumers could access VM's physical memory without knowing the implementation details of the VM memory provider. Thus hypervisor components, such as boot loader, virtual device drivers, virtio backend drivers and vhost drivers etc, could be shared and reused by multiple hypervisors.

Modules

address	Traits to represent an address within an address space.
bytes	Define the ByteValued trait to mark that it is safe to instantiate the struct with random data.
endian	Explicit endian types useful for embedding in structs or reinterpreting data.
guest_memory	Traits to track and access the physical memory of the guest.
volatile_memory	Types for volatile access to memory.
