Bootstraps a basic Firecracker micro VM on Linux with KVM.

Firecracker micro VMs are essentially a traditional VM + Container.

$> ./start_microvm.bash

To use the Linux kernel 5.2.8 (x86_64 only) I built, drop the file vmlinux.bin in the same directory as firecracker binary.

Prepare the rootfs file rootfs.ext4 formatted as ext4 and keep it in the same dir as firecracker. Use the procedure from https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/master/docs/rootfs-and-kernel-setup.md#creating-a-rootfs-image to build the rootfs.
