This makes use of the domain config option guest_os_type for
ia64 and removes the backing for the previous ACPI based
mechanism used previously. A user wanting optimal performance
for a specific type of OS guest running in an HVM domain should
make use of this new option. See updated xmexmaple.vti for
available options. All supported OSes should always work using
the default option or leaving the option unspecified. Originally
based on patch from Zhang Xin.

This patch adds support to XenD for configuring the previously added
TLS encryption and x509 certificate validation. At this time I have
only enabled this config to be done system-wide via
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. Since it requires the admin to add
certificates on the local FS, there's not much point in making it per
VM. The x509 certificates are located in /etc/xen/vnc. Since this
requires a special VNC client program (GTK-VNC,
virt-viewer/virt-manager or VeNCrypt viewer) the use of TLS is
disabled by default. Admins can enable it if they are using a suitable
client.

This patch adds in the upstream QEMU VNC authentication code. This
spports the previous VNC password auth scheme, as well as the VeNCrypt
protocol extension. The latter allows for performing a TLS handshake,
and client verification of the server identify using x509
certificates. It is also possible for the server to request a client
certificate and validate that as a simple auth scheme. The code
depends on GNU TLS for SSL APIs, and the configure script will
auto-detect this.
The image.py code is changed to deal with the new syntax for the -vnc
option. In particular password authentication is now enabled by
giving the 'password' flag,
eg -vnc 0.0.0:1,password

In summary, this allows a xenstore transaction object to be passed
around the various device controllers, so that they don't have to do
lots of singleton transactions. Transactions have very heavy I/O
impact from xenstored so reducing their number is important.
When running 3 guests, this patch reduces the impact of 'xm list
--long' from 176 transactions, scaling O(n) with guests, to 26
transactions with O(1) scaling.
I have previously attempted to also address the same issue with 'xm
create' but that's much harder since the device front/back handshake
requires that XenD use a number of small transactions. So i've not
changed anything here.

This patch writes a field /local/vm/DOMID/console/type taking the
value 'ioemu' or 'xenconsoled'. If xenconsoled sees a type that is
not its own, then it skips handling of that guest. The qemu-dm
process doesn't need to read this field since it will only attach
to the console if given the -serial pty arg which XenD already
ensures matches this xenstore field.
The overall behaviour is that if a paravirt guest has a qemu-dm
process running then that handles the console, otherwise the
xenconsoled handles it. The former is more functional, with the
exception of not currently supporting persistent logging to a
file at the same time as exposing a PTY.

This patches adapts XenD so that it is capable of starting a qemu-dm
device model for both paravirt and fullyvirt guests. A paravirt guest
will only be given a device model if it has a VFB configured, or the
user explicitly include the device_model option in the config
config. This avoids unnecessary overhead for those wanting a minimal
paravirt guest.
The bulk of this patch involves moving code from the HVMImageHandler
into the base ImageHandler class. The HVMImageHandler and
LinuxImageHandler subclasses now merely containing a couple of
overrides to set some specific command line flags. The most important
is -M xenpv, vs -M xenfv.
The XenConfig class has a minor refactoring to add a has_rfb() method
to avoid duplicating code in a couple of places. Instead of hardcoding
DEFAULT_DM it now uses the xen.util.auxbin APIs to locate it - this
works on platforms where qemu-dm is in /usr/lib64 instead of
/usr/lib. As before paravirt only gets a default qemu-dm if using a
VFB.
The vfbif.py class is trimmed out since it no longer needs to spawn a
daemon. A few other misc fixes deal with qemu-dm interactions when
saving/restoring, and in particular recovering from save failures (or
checkpointing).

This patch adds a paravirt console driver to qemu-dm. This is used
when the QEMU machine type is 'xenpv', connecting to the ring buffer
provided by the guest kernel. The '-serial' command line flag controls
how the guest console is exposed.
For parity with xenconsoled the '-serial pty' arg can be used. For
guests which are running a qemu-dm device model, the xenconsoled
daemon is no longer needed for guest consoles. The code for the
xen_console.c is based on the original code in
tools/console/daemon/io.c, but simplified; since its only dealing with
a single guest there's no state tracking to worry about.

This patch adds a paravirt machine type to QEMU. This can be requested
by passing the arg '-M xenpv' to qemu-dm. Aside from -d, and
-domain-name, the only other args that are processed are the VNC / SDL
graphics related args. Any others will be ignored. A tweak to
helper2.c was made to stop it setting up a file handler watch when
there are no CPUs registered.
The paravirt machine is in hw/xen_machine_pv.c and registers an
instance of the xenfb class, integrating it with the QEMU event loop
and key/mouse handlers. A couple of methods were adding to xenfb.h to
allow direct access to the file handles for xenstore & the event
channel.
The vfbif.py device controller is modified to launch qemu-dm instead
of the old xen-vncfb / sdlfb daemons.
When receiving framebuffer updates from the guest, the update has to
be copied into QEMU's copy of the framebuffer. This is because QEMU
stores the framebuffer in the format that is native to the SDL
display, or VNC client. This is not neccessarily the same as the guest
framebuffer which is always 32bpp. If there is an exact depth match we
use memcpy for speed, but in the non-matching case we have to fallback
to slow code to convert pixel formats. It fully supports all features
of the paravirt framebuffer including the choice between absolute &
relative pointers. The overall VIRT memory image size is about same as
old xen-vncfb, but the resident memory size is a little increased due
to copy of the framebuffer & some QEMU static state overhead. Most of
this is shared across QEMU processes.
To avoid both moving the xenfb.c and making changes to it in the same
patch, this just uses a Makefile hack to link against the xenfb.o from
the tools/xenfb/ directory. This will be removed in the following
patch.
