  To: devel; +Cc: Demi Marie Obenour, colbyt, Valentin Gagarin

The Nixpkgs staging cycle I was targeting for the update was just
merged into master as I finished up my testing and fixing.  I'll wait
for it to make it to nixos-unstable before committing the update, but
I know we've had people waiting for this, so here are the patches for
anybody who wants to try them out.

This update brings a Cloud Hypervisor version containing Demi's
generic vhost-user device, so we're able to use that for our
vhost-user GPU device and significantly reduce the size of our diff
with upstream Cloud Hypervisor.

So far I've only built and tested this on aarch64.  My x86_64 build is
still going, but I'll make sure it's been tested as well before
committing.  I haven't tested portals properly because there's an
ongoing issue where the host per-VM dbus service gets stuck in udevadm
wait (despite the recent commit I thought fixed that).  That issue
predates this update though, so I won't wait for a fix before
proceeding with the update, although I will try to test around it,
since it doesn't happen every time.
