//! 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.
