This patch adjusts the revision number to 1.0.1 and date in the
Xen-API document and introduces a revision history with entries for
1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

This patch extends the Xen-API and the legacy XML-RPC interface with a
function to reset the policy on the system (through an update with the
default policy). I adapted the code in 'xm resetpolicy' to use this
now.
This patch also extends libxen and the documentation to reflect the
new function.

The attached patch adds a new text file docs/misc/xenstore.txt which
describes the actual protocol implemented by xenstored. This was
reverse-engineered from the actual code in tools/xenstore.
I didn't bother making any automatic arrangements to ensure that the
implemented and documented protocols are kept in step (for example,
automatic code generation, etc.) The protocol is rather messy
unfortunately and unsuitable for an xdr approach, and in any case is
not likely to change very quickly.
Also in this patch are a couple of comments for xenstored_core.c which
help clarify the behaviour of some payload parsing helper functions.

This patch implements a (non Xen-API) legacy XML-RPC interface for the
ACM commands and funnels the calls into code introduced by the Xen-API
support for ACM security management. Since some of the functionality
has changed, also the xm applications have changed. In particular the
following old commands have been removed along with some tools the
have become obsolete now:
- loadpolicy (included in: setpolicy)
- makepolicy (included in: setpolicy)
- cfgbootpolicy (included in: setpolicy)
and the following commands been introduced:
- setpolicy
- getpolicy
- resetpolicy
All tools have been adapted to work in Xen-API and legacy XML-RPC
mode. Both modes support the same functionality.

docs/misc/vtd.txt is a vt-d how-to document that should answer
questions about how to use vt-d with latest Xen.

Don't share privregs with hvm domain and twist IA64 xen dump core format
slightly. Xen shares privregs pages with IA64 HVM domain for xm dump-core
to dump the pages. However sharing the page allows hvm guest domain
peek/destroy the page contents that might cause xen crash. And the xen
dump core file doesn't need privregs page because cpu context should be
obtained from vcpu context in case of IA64 HVM domain.
Although this patch modify xen dump core format, current crash utility
(at least crash 4.0-4.7) doesn't look into .xen_ia64_mmapped_regs section
and I don't know any other tools to understand xen dump core file.
So this format modification doesn't cause incompatibility issue.

sysctl.physinfo.nr_cpus. This also avoids miscalculation of
sockets_per_node by Xen where the number of CPUs in the system is
clipped.

Add get_- and set_other_config methods to the vTPM class. Write the
parameters into the xenstore while the domain is running prefixing it
with 'oc_'. Also I add the methods to the C library as well as the
documentation.

I am extending 'xm dumppolicy' to be used via the Xen-API. For this
there are two new functions in the ACM policy class:
- get the currently enforced policy including statistical data from
the hypervisor
- get the ACM 'ssidref' of a Domain. Since this may be a ACM-specific
variable or type (int) I put it into the ACM class.
I extended the Xen-API documentation with the two new functions.

Move the error list to be more prominent, and explicitly document
which generic error codes can be returned by all methods.
Mark host CPU flags/features return value as unspecified.
Document PERMISSION_DENIED.
Document error returns of session.login_with_password.

- Fixed description of "Mem" column in "xm list" output.
- Added a bit of text for the credit scheduler.
- Described the --force option to block-detach.
- Made formatting and spelling more consistent.

This patch changes the XML schema of the ACM policy to require a
version and that every conflict set have a name. Every VM label must
have one Chinese Wall Type and every resource label one Simple Type
Enforcement Type. As a consequence of this some example policies
needed to be changed. Also not offering that many configuration
options for compiling xen anymore to make things simpler.
