Panthor also has a similar concept. I agree that we can reach the VMs
from other places, but they=E2=80=99re scattered, and this type buys the =
convenience
to do so, which we will need for other, non-debugfs-related features.

I wonder if we should move the registry to the top level in the private =
data,
though:

i.e.: {
  fw: ..=20
  mmu: =E2=80=A6
  registry: VmRegistry
}

I think this can be solved by having vm::new() take a &VmRegistry =
argument,
same for vm::destroy(). This forces callers to provide the list so it =
can be kept
in sync.

This is just one approach though, perhaps someone has a better idea?
