Crate Addition Request: Emulated devices

[sameo]

Crate Name

Naming is hard...

devices devices-emulation vmm-devices

Short Description

Gather all emulated devices implementations, i.e. all implementations for emulating actual, hardware devices. Some examples:

• PIO based devices: serial, cmos, i8042, etc
• Userspace IOAPIC
• USB devices

Why is this crate relevant to the rust-vmm project?

Some VMMs need to emulate real, existing devices and those should have a fairly common set of dependencies (vm-devices, vm-memory, vmm-sys-util)

Another option, as suggested by @zachreizner, is to have a devices crate gathering all our devices, including the virtio ones.
