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).

- use consistent error values (stop mixing of [positive] errno values
with literal -E... ones)
- properly format output
- don't use leading zeros in decimal output
- move printing of average frequency into P-state conditional (rather
than a C-state one)
- don't print some C-state related info when CPU idle management is
disabled in the hypervisor
- use calloc() for array allocations that also got cleared via memset()

Create two new variables called APPEND_ and PREPEND_ to add compile
flags at the beginning or at the end of the search path.
Added a new semantic for user defined compile flags, here is the list
of possible options:
PREPEND_LIB: add libraries to the search path before xen
(before xen installation folders).
PREPEND_INCLUDES: add headers to the search path before xen
(before xen installation folders).
APPEND_LIB: add libraries to the search path at the end
(after all xen installation folders have been added).
APPEND_INCLUDES: add libraries to the search path at the end
(after all xen installation folders have been added).
EXTRA_INCLUDES and EXTRA_LIB can still be used, and they will have the
same effect as PREPEND_INCLUDES and PREPEND_LIB.

Adds tool support to debug backends which expose I/O ring state in
sysfs. Currently supports /sys/devices/xen-backend/vbd-*-*/io_ring
nodes for block I/O, where implemented.
Primary function is to observe ring state make progress over a period
of time, then report stuck message queue halves where pending
consumer/event are not moving.
Adding --kick will re-issue event notifications to frontends, and/or
kick backends out of wait state.

Adds "make deb", which does a "make dist" build and wraps the
resulting dist/install files in dist/xen-<version>.deb
This is _not_ a "packaged" version of Xen for Debian users, nor is it
intended to compete with anyone else's packaging efforts. In
particular it doesn't do any of the boot-time or fstab fixups needed
to actually start the xen tools. It's just a quick hack for
developers to be able to quickly install and uninstall a Xen build on
a test box.

A fair few things under tools link against libraries which they don't
even use.
Most of this appears to come from copy-and-pasting previous Makefile
snippets and cargo-culting plus the tendency to define global $(LIBS)
even for Makefiles which build multiple separate utilities or
libraries.
Identified by comparing a build with --as-needed to one without by
looking at the NEEDED header of all ELF objects.

This tool reads the CPU save records, overwrites RIP with a bogus
value, and then restores them. This is, of course, not guaranteed
to crash the guest (since the CPUs may not be executing in kernel
at the time) but it's good for breaking into some tight loops that
would be hard to debug otherwise.

Now the init script is called xencommons and, as the name suggests, it
is a common script between xl and xend because it is used to start
xenconsoled, xenstored and xenbackendd and the initialization of these
three daemons has been removed from xend. The global
xen_toolstack=xl/xend variable has been removed. Regarding the
network setup, I made the vif scripts follow the same pattern as the
other scripts in xen-backend: a new script called vif-setup is
executed unconditionally. vif-setup is going to do the right thing
depending on the value of the environmental variable "script" (same
technique used before), defaulting to vif-bridge. In the common
scenario the toolstack doesn't need to set the variable "script"
because vif-bridge is going to be called anyway. There is no global
network script to setup the network bridges with xl, so if you are
using xl without xend, you need to manually configure the bridges
using your distro network setup, or, if you are lazy, you can just add
something like:
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start
to your rc.local.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.

Add "page deduplication" capability (with optional compression
and trailing-zero elimination) to Xen's tmem.
(Transparent to tmem-enabled guests.) Ephemeral pages
that have the exact same content are "combined" so that only
one page frame is needed. Since ephemeral pages are essentially
read-only, no C-O-W (and thus no equivalent of swapping) is
necessary. Deduplication can be combined with compression
or "trailing zero elimination" for even more space savings.
