This is the first cut of a InfraKit instance plugin which primarily allows one to manage Moby instances (though, other Linux's may work too). It's very rough on the edges and needs work and update to handle templates and better configuration etc. Signed-off-by: Rolf Neugebauer <rolf.neugebauer@docker.com>

Hyperkit/Moby Infrakit plugin
This is a Hyper/Kit Moby instance plugin for infrakit. The instance plugin is capable to start/manage several hyperkit instances with with different configurations and Moby configurations.
The plugin keeps state in a local directory (default ./vms) where
each instance keeps some state in a sub-directory. The VM state
directory can be specified at the kernel command line using the
--vm-dir option.
The plugin also needs to know where the kernel and initrd images are
located. The --vm-lib command line argument to the plugin specifies
the directory. Inside the VM library directory every kernel/initrd configuration should be stored in a sub-directory. The sub-directory name is used in the instance configuration.
Building
make
(you need a working docker installation...testing on Docker for Mac)
Quickstart
To play round with the plugin, simply follow the infrakit tutorial and replace the file instance plugin with:
./build/infrakit-instance-hyperkit --vm-lib ./vmlib
where ./vmlib contains a sub-directory named default with a vmlinuz64 and initrd.img image.
Instead of the cattle.json in the infrakit tutorial, use hyperkit.json in this directory.
