Contributions summary:Andreea primarily contributed to the Firecracker microVM project by implementing and extending functionality related to command-line parameters and core system initialization. Their work involved modifying the main entry point (`src/main.rs`) to accept and process command-line arguments for setting the vCPU count and memory size. They were also responsible for low-level changes to the kernel, including setting up the CPUID extended topology to match the configured virtual machine properties. Furthermore, they made critical adjustments to the codebase to enable features like setting the signal mask for live updates.
