/// The VM struct. This stores metadata for the currently running Zebu instance.
/// This struct gets persisted in the boot image, and when the boot image is loaded,
/// everything should be back to the same status as before persisting.
///
/// This struct is usually used as Arc<VM> so it can be shared among threads. The
/// Arc<VM> is stored in every thread local of a Mu thread, so that they can refer
/// to the VM easily.
///
/// We are using fine-grained lock on VM to allow mutability on different fields in VM.
/// Also we use two-level locks for some data structures such as MuFunction/
/// MuFunctionVersion/CompiledFunction so that we can mutate on two
/// different functions/funcvers/etc at the same time.

//  FIXME: However, there are problems with fine-grained lock design,
//  and we will need to rethink. See Issue #2.
//  TODO: besides fields in VM, there are some 'globals' we need to persist
//  such as STRUCT_TAG_MAP, INTERNAL_ID and internal types from ir crate. The point is
//  ir crate should be independent and self-contained. But when persisting the 'world',
//  besides persisting VM struct (containing most of the 'world'), we also need to
//  specifically persist those globals.
