Curiously absent from the stable API/ABIs is an ability to query the number of
vcpus which a domain has. Emulators need to know this information in
particular to know how many stuct ioreq's live in the ioreq server mappings.
In practice, this forces all userspace to link against libxenctrl to use
xc_domain_getinfo(), which rather defeats the purpose of the stable libraries.
Introduce a DMOP to retrieve this information and surface it in
libxendevicemodel to help emulators shed their use of unstable interfaces.

For 4.15. This was a surprise discovery in the massive ABI untangling effort
I'm currently doing for XenServer's new build system.
This is one new read-only op to obtain information which isn't otherwise
available under a stable API/ABI. As such, its risk for 4.15 is very low,
with a very real quality-of-life improvement for downstreams.
I realise this is technically a new feature and we're long past feature
freeze, but I'm hoping that "really lets some emulators move off the unstable
libraries" is sufficiently convincing argument.
It's not sufficient to let Qemu move off unstable libraries yet - at a
minimum, the add_to_phymap hypercalls need stabilising to support PCI
Passthrough and BAR remapping.
I'd prefer not to duplicate the op handling between ARM and x86, and if this
weren't a release window, I'd submit a prereq patch to dedup the common dmop
handling. That can wait to 4.16 at this point. Also, this op ought to work
against x86 PV guests, but fixing that up will also need this rearrangement
into common code, so needs to wait.
This patch adds ability to the device emulator to notify otherend
(some entity running in the guest) using a SPI and implements Arm
specific bits for it. Proposed interface allows emulator to set
the logical level of a one of a domain's IRQ lines.
We can't reuse the existing DM op (xen_dm_op_set_isa_irq_level)
to inject an interrupt as the "isa_irq" field is only 8-bit and
able to cover IRQ 0 - 255, whereas we need a wider range (0 - 1020).
Please note, for egde-triggered interrupt (which is used for
the virtio-mmio emulation) we only trigger the interrupt on Arm
if the level is asserted (rising edge) and do nothing if the level
is deasserted (falling edge), so the call could be named "trigger_irq"
(without the level parameter). But, in order to model the line closely
(to be able to support level-triggered interrupt) we need to know whether
the line is low or high, so the proposed interface has been chosen.
However, it is worth mentioning that in case of the level-triggered
interrupt, we should keep injecting the interrupt to the guest until
the line is deasserted (this is not covered by current patch).

Instead of each library having an own include directory move the
official headers to tools/include instead. This will drop the need to
link those headers to tools/include and there is no need any longer
to have library-specific include paths when building Xen.
While at it remove setting of the unused variable
PKG_CONFIG_CFLAGS_LOCAL in libs/*/Makefile.
