Add support for hvi vmm #1133

Open

Description

@cmainas

urunc supports qemu, firecracker, cloud-hypervisor, Solo5 and hyperlight. This issue proposes adding hvi as another monitor for Linux guests.

hvi is a small KVM-based VMM for Linux guests that brings:

  • A small footprint: a single static binary for x86-64 and aarch64.
  • Visibility at the device boundary: hvi owns guest RAM and the virtio devices, so it can report what the guest does at that boundary.
  • A simple device model: every device sits on virtio-mmio, and hvi applies its own seccomp sandbox.
  • Built-in agent access: a host socket relayed to the guest's vsock, which urunc exec can use.
