Vikram Auradkar eba2940049 upstream windows vmm_vhost
Windows vmm_vhost differs from linux vmm_vhost mostly on the structures
that it depends on. For example windows uses Tube for linux'
UnixStream.

The patch aliases some of these types in a platform specific file. Rest
of the platform independent code depends on those aliases.

Bug: b:213151429
Test: presubmit, manually run cargo test on windows.

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.
