Replace hardcoded NVIDIA vendor ID (0x10de) and class (0x030) checks
with a vendor-agnostic lookup table (cdiDeviceKind) that maps PCI
vendor/class pairs to CDI device kinds. This makes it straightforward
to add support for new device types by adding entries to the table.
Refactor siblingAnnotation to resolve device BDFs once upfront and
reuse them for both CDI type detection and sibling matching, eliminating
redundant sysfs reads. Devices not in the lookup table (e.g. NVSwitches)
are skipped with errNoSiblingFound, while known device types that fail
to match a sibling produce a hard error.
Consolidate the hot-plug and cold-plug device loops into a single loop
over extracted container paths, removing duplicated filtering logic.
Export GetPCIDeviceProperty from the device drivers package to allow
vendor/class lookup from sysfs in the container annotation path.

* Introduces the `emptydir_mode` config flag to allow instructing the runtime
to create a block device for emptyDir volumes.
* The block device is created in the original emptyDir folder on the host
so that Kubelet can monitors its disk usage and evict the pod if it exceeds
its sizeLimit. This matches runc and virtio-fs.
* The block device's disk image file is sparse to minimize host disk
footprint.

Virtio-mmio transport is not hardened for confidential computing (unlike
virtio-pci). Reject config that would use virtio-blk-mmio for rootfs/block
when confidential_guest is set, so CoCo guests only use virtio-blk-pci.

The remote hypervisor delegates VM creation to a remote service.
The VM runs on cloud infrastructure, not the local host kernel.
So requiring a KVM/MSHV device is semantically wrong and would
cause a hard failure on any host where these devices are absent
(e.g., a VM that doesn't expose nested virtualization).
Skip sandboxDevices() entirely when the configured hypervisor type
is remoteHypervisor{}.

Stop computing and setting mem-reserve and pref64-reserve on PCIe root
ports and switch ports. Remove getBARsMaxAddressableMemory() which
scanned host GPU BARs to pre-calculate these values.
The previous approach only considered GPU devices (IsGPU(), class
0x0302) when scanning for BAR sizes, so devices like NVSwitches (class
0x0680) with their 32MB non-prefetchable BAR0 were not accounted for
and received the 4MB default. Additionally, GetTotalAddressableMemory()
classifies BARs by 32/64-bit address width rather than by the
prefetchable flag that QEMU's mem-reserve vs pref64-reserve maps to.
Modern QEMU introspects VFIO device BARs when they are attached to
root ports and sizes the MMIO windows accordingly. Modern OVMF
(edk2-stable202502+) automatically calculates the 64-bit PCI MMIO
aperture based on the BARs of actually present devices during PCI
enumeration. Omitting the reserve parameters lets QEMU and OVMF
handle MMIO window sizing correctly for all device types including
GPUs, NVSwitches, and NICs without requiring host-side BAR scanning.
This also removes the nvpci dependency from qemu_arch_base.go.

Modern OVMF (edk2-stable202502 and later) automatically sizes the
64-bit PCI MMIO aperture based on the BARs of actually attached
devices during PCI enumeration. The opt/ovmf/X-PciMmio64Mb fw_cfg
hint is no longer needed to ensure large-BAR devices like NVIDIA
GPUs receive adequate MMIO space.
The previous approach was fragile: the runtime scanned host PCI
devices to estimate the required aperture size, but only considered
GPU devices (class 0x0302), missing NVSwitches and other devices
with large BARs. Removing this code avoids confusion about MMIO
sizing responsibility.

Different kubernetes distributions, such as k0s, use a different kubelet
root dir location instead of the default /var/lib/kubelet, so ConfigMap
and Secret volume propagation were failing.
This adds a kubelet_root_dir config option that the go runtime uses when
matching volume paths and kata-deploy now sets it automatically for k0s
via a drop-in file.
runtime-rs does not need this option: it identifies ConfigMap/Secret,
projected, and downward-api volumes by volume-type path segment
(kubernetes.io~configmap, etc.), not by kubelet root prefix.

ResizeMemory() already contains the virtio-mem resize logic.
However, hotplugAddMemory(), which is invoked via a different
path, lacked this handling and always fell back to the pc-dimm
path, even when virtio-mem was configured.
This commit adds virtio-mem resize handling to hotplugAddMemory().
It also adds corresponding unit tests.

Specify raw image format for all guest block devices.
- Attempting to auto-detect the image format from CLH would be riskier
for the Host.
- Creating a new raw image file, auto-detecting its format, and then
creating a filesystem from the Guest onto the block device is no
longer supported by CLH v51. Therefore, Kata CI's k8s-block-volume.bats
would fail without specifying the raw format when hot plugging its block
device.

v51.1
=====
This is a bug fix release. The following issues have been addressed:
* Fix image_type in OpenAPI definition (#7734)
v51.0
=====
This release has been tracked in v51.0 group of our roadmap project.
Security Fixes
This release fixes a security vulnerability in disk image handling.
Details can be found in GHSA-jmr4-g2hv-mjj6.
* A new `backing_files=on|off` option has been added to `--disk` to
explicitly control whether QCOW2 backing files are permitted. This
defaults to `off` to prevent the loading of backing files entirely.
(#7685)
* Explicit image type specification via the user interface, removing
reliance on format autodetection (#7728).
* Prevent sector-zero writes for autodetected raw images (#7728).
Significant QCOW2 v3 Improvements
A large number of QCOW2 v3 specification features have been implemented:
* RAW backing file support for QCOW2 overlays (#7570)
* Zero bit in L2 entries (#7627)
* Incompatible feature bit validation (#7612)
* Dirty bit support (#7636)
* Variable refcount widths (1 to 64-bit) (#7633)
* Corrupt bit detection and marking (#7639)
* Autoclear feature bits handling (#7648)
* Thread safety fix for multiple virtio queues (`num_queues > 1`)
(#7661)
* Correct zero-fill for reads beyond backing file size (#7678)
* Live disk resize support (#7687)
ACPI Generic Initiator Support
ACPI Generic Initiator Affinity (SRAT Type 5) support has been added
to associate VFIO-PCI devices with dedicated memory/CPU-less NUMA
nodes. This enables the guest OS to make NUMA-aware memory allocation
decisions for device workloads. A new `device_id` parameter has been
added to `--numa` for specifying VFIO devices. (#7626)
Block Device DISCARD and WRITE_ZEROES Support
The `virtio-blk` device now supports `DISCARD` and `WRITE_ZEROES`
operations for QCOW2 and RAW image formats. This enables thin
provisioning and efficient space reclamation when guests trim
filesystems. A new `sparse=on|off` option has been added to `--disk` to
control disk space management: `sparse=on` (default) enables thin
provisioning with space reclamation, while `sparse=off` provides thick
provisioning with consistent I/O latency. (#7666)
Notable Performance Improvements
* Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support has been extended to cover
anonymous shared memory (`shared=on`) via `madvise`. Previously, THP
was only used for non-shared memory. (#7646)
* The `vhost-user-net` device now uses the default set of vhost-user
virtio features, including `VIRTIO_F_RING_INDIRECT_DESC`, which
provides a performance improvement. (#7653)
MSHV Support Improvements
* Optimize CPU state update after emulation by only updating special
registers when changed (#7603)
* Enable SMT for guests with `threads_per_core > 1` (#7668)
* Stub `save_data_tables()` to unblock VM pause/resume (#7692)
* Handle `GHCB_INFO_SPECIAL_DBGPRINT` VMG exit in SEV-SNP guest exit
handler (#7703)
* Fix CVM boot failure on MSHV (#7548)
* Fix CPU topology detection for multithreaded configurations (#7576)
Notable Bug Fixes
* Fix VFIO device hot-remove leaving group and container file
descriptors open, preventing re-add (#7676)
* Fix snapshot restore when backing file is on read-only storage with
`shared=false` (#7674)
* Enforce `VIRTIO_BLK_F_RO` even if guest does not negotiate it
(#7705)
* Fix read-only block device FLUSH requests from OVMF preventing VMs
from booting (#7706)
* Fix vhost-user device not properly dropping unowned file descriptors
(#7679)
* Fix `vhost-user-block` `get_config` interoperability (#7617)
* Fix vsock TOCTOU race condition by copying packet header from guest
memory before processing (#7530)
* Fix vsock handling of large TX packets spanning multiple data
descriptors (#7680)
* Add `gettid()` to all seccomp filters (#7596)
* Fix MAC address parsing that wrongly allowed `+` instead of hex
characters (#7579)
* Improve UUID parse error message and `--net` fd help text (#7702)
* Fix various inconsistencies in our OpenAPI specification file
(#7716, #7726)
* Various documentation fixes (#7602, #7606)

Configurable Nested Virtualization Option on x86_64
The nested=on|off option has been added to --cpu to allow users
to configure nested virtualization support in the guest on x86_64
hosts (for both KVM and MSHV). The default value is on to maintain
consistency with existing behavior. (#7408)
Compression Support for QCOW2
QCOW2 support has been extended to handle compression clusters based on
zlib and zstd. (#7462)
Notable Performance Improvements
Performance of live migration has been improved via an optimized
implementation of dirty bitmap maintenance. (#7468)
Live Disk Resizing Support for Raw Images
The /vm.resize-disk API has been introduced to allow users to resize block
devices backed by raw images while a guest is running. (#7476)
Developer Experience Improvements
Significant improvements have been made to developer experience and
productivity. These include a simplified root manifest, codified and
tightened Clippy lints, and streamlined workflows for cargo clippy and
cargo test. (#7489)
Improved File-level Locking Support
Block devices now use byte-range advisory locks instead of whole-file
locks. While both approaches prevent multiple Cloud Hypervisor instances
from simultaneously accessing the same disk image with write
permissions, byte-range locks provide better compatibility with network
storage backends. (#7494)
Logging Improvements
Logs now include event information generated by the event-monitor
module. (#7512)
Notable Bug Fixes
* Fix several issues around CPUID in the guest (#7485, #7495, #7508)
