This allows migration to a host with less MCA banks than the source
host had, while without this patch accesses to the excess banks' MSRs
caused #GP-s in the guest after migration (and it depended on the guest
kernel whether this would be fatal).
A fundamental question is whether we should also save/restore MCG_CTL
and MCi_CTL, as the HVM save record would better be defined to the
complete state that needs saving from the beginning (I'm unsure whether
the save/restore logic allows for future extension of an existing
record).
Of course, this change is expected to make migration from new to older
Xen impossible (again I'm unsure what the save/restore logic does with
records it doesn't even know about).
The (trivial) tools side change may seem unrelated, but the code should
have been that way from the beginning to allow the hypervisor to look
at currently unused ext_vcpucontext fields without risking to read
garbage when those fields get a meaning assigned in the future. This
isn't being enforced here - should it be? (Obviously, for backwards
compatibility, the hypervisor must assume these fields to be clear only
when the extended context's size exceeds the old original one.)
A future addition to this change might be to allow configuration of the
number of banks and other MCA capabilities for a guest before it starts
(i.e. to not inherits the values seen on the first host it runs on).

...when specified in the guest configuration file.
This work is somewhat based on Bei Guan effort during the SoC 2011 and
relies on upstream edk2/ovmf Tianocore ROM to be built separately and
manually copied as:
Build/OvmfX64/DEBUG_GCC44/FV/OVMF.fd ->
tools/firmware/ovmf/ovmf-x64.bin
Build/OvmfIa32/DEBUG_GCC44/FV/OVMF.fd ->
toolf/firmware/ovmf/ovmf-ia32.bin
A way to integrate OVMF build directly into XEN has still be discussed
on the mailing list appropriately.

Added autotools magic to replace custom check scripts. The previous
checks have been ported to autoconf, and some additional ones have
been added (plus the suggestions from running autoscan). Two files are
created as a result from executing configure script, config/Tools.mk
and config.h.
conf/Tools.mk is included by tools/Rules.mk, and contains most of the
options previously defined in .config, that can now be set passing
parameters or defining environment variables when executing configure
script.
config.h is only used by libxl/xl to detect yajl_version.h.
[ tools/config.sub and config.guess copied from
autotools-dev 20100122.1 from Debian squeeze i386,
which is GPLv2.
tools/configure generated using the included ./autogen.sh
which ran autoconf 2.67-2 from Debian squeeze i386. autoconf
is GPLv3+ but has a special exception for the autoconf output;
this exception applies to us and exempts us from complying
with GPLv3+ for configure, which is good as Xen is GPL2 only.

Currently the command to flush the qemu cache is called alot if there
are no more pages to evict. This causes churn in the logfiles, and qemu
can not release more pages anyway since the last command.
Fix this by remembering the current number of paged-out gfns, if this
number did not change since the last flush command then sending another
new flush command will not free any more gfns.
Remove return code from xenpaging_mem_paging_flush_ioemu_cache() since
errors do not matter, and will be handled elsewhere. Also failure to
send the flush command is not fatal.

The main loop calls xenpaging_wait_for_event_or_timeout() unconditionally
before doing any work. This function calls poll() with a timeout of 100ms. As
a result the page-out process is very slow due to the delay in poll().
Call poll() without timeout so that it returns immediately until the page-out
is done. Page-out is done when either the policy finds no more pages to
nominate or when the requested number of pages is reached.
The condition is cleared when a watch event arrives, so that processing the
new target is not delayed once again by poll().

Rename variable in main() from i to slot to clearify the meaning.

LSB defines runlevel 4 as "reserved for local use, default is
normal/full multiuser"
The current behaviour of insserv in openSuSE 11.4 and SLES11SP2 is that
xencommons gets a symlink in /etc/init.d/rc4.d/ due to the 4 in the
Default-Start: line. As a result insserv will print a warning:
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (2 3 5) of script `xencommons' overwrites defaults (2 3 4 5).
Since the local admin is responsible to create all symlinks manually in
/etc/init.d/rc4.d/ the xencommons script should not automatically enable
itself in runlevel 4.
So, remove the 4 from Default-Start: line.
Note: This change will not automatically remove old/stale xencommon
symlinks in /etc/init.d/rc4.d/ during a package upgrade.

This patch introduces configuration options allowing to built either a
rombios only or a seabios only hvmloader.
Building option ROMs like vgabios or etherboot is only enabled for a
rombios hvmloader, since SeaBIOS takes care or extracting option ROMs
itself from the PCI devices (these option ROMs are provided by the
device model and do not need to be built in hvmloader).
The Makefile in tools/firmware/ now only checks for bcc if rombios is
enabled.
These two configuration options are left on by default to remain
compatible.
