Alexandre Courbot 2532c07b39 vmm_vhost: fix the VFIO implementation of set_nonblocking()
The set_nonblocking() implementation of the VFIO Listener was marked as
unimplemented and caused a crash. However, given that accept() on a VFIO
listener never blocks, it is just as safe to mark the operation as
successful, since the behavior of accept() won't be impacted and it will
behave properly both in blocking and non-blocking modes.

Removing this panic will allow us to safely use the Listener's interface
set_nonblocking() method in generic code.

vHost

A pure rust library for vhost-user. This is a fork of rust-vmm/vhost.

vhost Architecture

The vhost-user protocol aims to implement vhost backend drivers in userspace, which complements the ioctl interface used to control the vhost implementation in the Linux kernel. It implements the control plane needed to establish virtqueue sharing with a user space process on the same host. It uses communication over a Unix domain socket to share file descriptors in the ancillary data of the message.

The protocol defines two sides of the communication, master and slave. Master is the application that shares its virtqueues, slave is the consumer of the virtqueues. Master and slave can be either a client (i.e. connecting) or server (listening) in the socket communication.
