[Rust-VMM] KVM bindings as independent crate

[Florescu, Andreea]

Hey,

Yap, sounds like a good idea to have the kvm_wrapper in the rust-vmm organization.
I think it is best to migrate [1] it so then the old link to the repository would still work. Version 0.1.0 points to the repository from my personal profile. Otherwise I can also just move it, publish a new version on crates.io and yank the 0.1.0.

Hi Andreea,

We created a rust-vmm organization on github [1], maybe we should have
the KVM bindings as our first repo there? I just sent you an invite to
become member of the org.

Cheers,
Samuel.

For now I only added bindings for linux-4.14.0 and linux-4.20.0, but others can be added if needed. The version can be selected using features:
