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 (can use standard suffixes like K, M and G)
:= physical base address
:= interrupt number (as passed to request_irq())
:= (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. 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.

This PR based on preliminary work from @duanyu-yu

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.
