TODO:

  • figure out at which point in initramfs this should run

This adds a new provider for the "qemu" platform.
In particular, this provider currently supports checking in to
the hypervisor in order to report a successful boot.
This is performed through a VirtIO port, re-using the same console
and protocol used by oVirt guest-agent. Though, this is intentionally
not aimed at providing a full guest-agent implementation.

There's a lot going on in tokio-oga, will try to give that a sanity check soon too.

Wouldn't it be part of afterburn-checkin.service?

I assume you've tested this in an actual oVirt/RHV environment - is that correct? Which version?

Do you have a sense of how hard it'd be to have the server side of this implemented in coreos-assembler/kola? That would allow us to use it across the board in tests.
