Firecracker pass the configuration of all mmio device by a Linux kernel parameter
This parameter is defined as followd:
virtio_mmio.device=
[VMMIO] Memory mapped virtio (platform) device.
<size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>]
where:
<size> := size (can use standard suffixes like K, M and G)
<baseaddr> := physical base address
<irq> := interrupt number (as passed to request_irq())
<id> := (optional) platform device id
example:
virtio_mmio.device=1K@0x100b0000:48:7
Can be used multiple times for multiple devices.
This patch parse the command line and store the string
<size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>] in a vector, which is part of CLI.

Firecracker parse the linux argument virtio_mmio.device to the kernel, which specifies the mmio addresses for VirtIO devices. This patch uses these arguments to find the network interface.wq:
This feature is not required. If VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS is not announce, the driver assumes that the link is always active. This behavior is conform to the VirtIO standard.

This patch parse the command line and store the string
<size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>]in a vector, which is part of CLI. The vector is used to find the network device on a microVM.In addition, the network driver support devices, which doesn't support VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS.
