[Minios-devel] [UNIKRAFT PATCH v2 0/6] Unikraft Block API

[Roxana Nicolescu <nicolescu.roxana1996@xxxxxxxxx>]

Introduces the Unikraft Block API, that acts as a generalized interface
between block drivers and filesystems implementations (or low-level block
applications).

Using the function definitions in blkdev_core.h, the driver should include
blkdev_driver, implement the functions in uk_blkdev_ops and fill some
fields from uk_blkdev.
The user-facing part of the API is in blkdev.h. The layer above can use
these functions to configure block devices, as well as send and receive
sector-wide requests.
The read/write/flush operations abstraction is defined in blkreq.h.
Requests can be asynchronous or synchronous and the user must set a
proper callback for each async operation.
The API has multi-queue support and event dispatching support as well,
which is configurable with or without bottom-half threads.

Changes from v1:
- Queue reference instead of queue_id parameter for callback functions.
- Changed naming and data types of some variables.
