Document the API and requirements of the 'mini-OS' #731

Closed grahamwhaley closed 7 years ago

grahamwhaley commented 7 years ago

The kernel and small rootfs that run in the VM to launch the workload (what is known sometimes as the 'mini-OS') has certain requirements and needs - such as supporting a hyperstart protocol on a known serial port etc., and also some base kernel config expectations (9pfs etc.). We should document these.

Just noting this is mildly related to #251 and @jcvenegas

@grahamwhaley I will add the mini-os reference documentation to https://github.com/clearcontainers/osbuilder the things I have in mind:

packages needed
image partition layout
describe boot sequence ( services, targets )
