Description
For debugging programs intended to be run by libvmod_tinykvm it would be helpful if simplekvm or a similar program supported a larger subset of libvmod_tinykvm's functionality.
Specifically I'd like to be able to provide a configuration json file or string that let me set environment variables, allowed files, and memory limits so I can easily run my guest program under simplekvm and attach gdb.

Research direction
Review simplekvm and libvmod_tinykvm to understand the existing functionality and configuration interfaces. Determine how a JSON file or string could configure environment variables, allowed files, and memory limits for guest programs, while preserving gdb attachment. Done means simplekvm supports these settings and can run the configured guest program.
