Change the installation guides so that all commands the user must type
use an explicit bash code block rather than a standard code block.
This adds meaning to the documents and will then allow us to extract
the commands and run them for testing purposes.

Fixes: #30

Commit b8f1a68834 ("rootfs: Simplify
code") introduced a variable called destdir but accidentally used
dest_dir with cp(1) instead. This causes kernel modules to be copied to
the wrong location.
Rename the variable to dest_dir to be consistent with module_dir and
rootfs_dir variables used in this function.

Remove the agent version from the output of `kata-env`. The value was
always a static string (`<<unknown>>`) because the runtime cannot
determine the agent version without creating a container.
Note that agent details, including the version, *are* displayed when
the user runs `kata-collect-data.sh`.

Don't fail if a new container with a CPU constraint was added to
a POD and no more vCPUs are available, instead apply the constraint
and let kernel balance the resources.
Signed-off-by: Julio Montes <julio.montes@intel.com>
There is a relation between the maximum number of vCPUs and the
memory footprint, if QEMU maxcpus option and kernel nr_cpus
cmdline argument are big, then memory footprint is big, this
issue only occurs if CPU hotplug support is enabled in the kernel,
might be because of kernel needs to allocate resources to watch all
sockets waiting for a CPU to be connected (ACPI event).
For example
```
+---------------+-------------------------+
| | Memory Footprint (KB) |
+---------------+-------------------------+
| NR_CPUS=240 | 186501 |
+---------------+-------------------------+
| NR_CPUS=8 | 110684 |
+---------------+-------------------------+
```
In order to do not affect CPU hotplug and allow to users to have containers
with the same number of physical CPUs, this patch tries to mitigate the
big memory footprint by using the actual number of physical CPUs as the
maximum number of vCPUs for each container if `default_maxvcpus` is <= 0 in
the runtime configuration file, otherwise `default_maxvcpus` is used as the
maximum number of vCPUs.
Before this patch a container with 256MB of RAM
```

we use to a known good one.
