HVMOP_get_param and HVMOP_set_param take a uint32_t for the parameter
index and a uint64_t for the value. So add xc_hvm_param_get() and
xc_hvm_param_set() that take the same types.
The existing xc_get_hvm_param() and xc_set_hvm_param() are retained
for compatibility but are deprecated.

tools/libxc: Add helper function to setup ring for mem events
This patch adds a helper function that maps the ring, enables mem_event
and removes the ring from the guest physmap while the domain is paused.
This can be used by all mem_events but is only enabled for mem_access at
the moment.
tests/xen-access: Use helper API to setup ring and enable mem_access
Prior to this patch, xen-access was setting up the ring page in a way
that would give a malicous guest a window to write in to the shared ring
page. This patch fixes this by using the helper API that does it safely
on behalf of xen-access.
This is XSA-99.

This solves a long-standing issue in which the pages backing these rings were
pages belonging to dom0 user-space processes. Thus, if the process would die
unexpectedly, Xen would keep posting events to a page now belonging to some
other process.
We update all API-consumers in tree (xenpaging and xen-access).
This is an API/ABI change, so please speak up if it breaks your accumptions.
The patch touches tools, hypervisor x86/hvm bits, and hypervisor x86/mm bits.

Don't use the superfluous shared page, return the event channel directly as
part of the domctl struct, instead.
In-tree consumers (xenpaging, xen-access) updated. This is an ABI/API change,
so please voice any concerns.
Known pending issues:
- pager could die and its ring page could be used by some other process, yet
Xen retains the mapping to it.
- use a saner interface for the paging_load buffer.
This change also affects the x86/mm bits in the hypervisor that process the
mem_event setup domctl.

Up to now a single ring buffer was used for mem_share, xenpaging and
xen-access. Each helper would have to cooperate and pull only its own
requests from the ring. Unfortunately this was not implemented. And
even if it was, it would make the whole concept fragile because a crash
or early exit of one helper would stall the others.
What happend up to now is that active xenpaging + memory_sharing would
push memsharing requests in the buffer. xenpaging is not prepared for
such requests.
This patch creates an independet ring buffer for mem_share, xenpaging
and xen-access and adds also new functions to enable xenpaging and
xen-access. The xc_mem_event_enable/xc_mem_event_disable functions will
be removed. The various XEN_DOMCTL_MEM_EVENT_* macros were cleaned up.
Due to the removal the API changed, so the SONAME will be changed too.
