[Rust-VMM] VMM related bindings

All,

In several cases, we need to generate kernel bindings for some of our
crates (kvm, vhost, virtio), through rust-bindgen.
There's been discussions about whether we should have those bindings as
part of the related crate (e.g. a virtio/src/bindings.rs module for the
virtio bindings) or as a separate crate (virtio-bindings,
vhost-bindings, kvm-bindings).

We (Andreea and myself) believe it makes more sense to have them as
separate crates, and clearly distinguish generated bindings from actual
code consuming them. It generates a few more repos, but that's a minor
burden after all.

Does anyone have strong opinions against that pattern?

Cheers,
Samuel.
