This was raised before. The reason we still used a separate repo for 
govmm was for kata 1.x back then. Now that kata 1.x is officially EOL, 
I'd say we should just move govmm into virtcontainers.

Could you explain a bit on how it relates to cloud-hypervisor? Right now 
govmm only supports qemu. Do you plan to make it a generic vmm handling 
layer as it should be by its name? (Which I would love to see for sure!)
