On solaris mlock requires a page aligned address and mlock doesn't
ensure the pages won't minor page fault.

The guest OS should be capable of parsing an image file in
whatever format was produced by that OS's tools. Furthermore,
we have seen initrd images with trailing garbage. This causes
us to calculate the wrong size for the uncompressed data and hence
fail to build the guest.

Also update the code in tools to create the device node if udev fails.
The tools now read the sysfs system to find the minor number needed.

The latest ELF changes have a null pointer dereference bug when you
have neither an elf notes section nor a __xen_guest_string. This patch
checks for the existence of the __xen_guest_string prior to using it.
Please apply. Thanks,
Alex

1. platform_op -- used by dom0 kernel to perform actions on the
hardware platform (e.g., MTRR access, microcode update, platform
quirks, ...)
2. domctl -- used by management tools to control a specified domain
3. sysctl -- used by management tools for system-wide actions
Benefits include more sensible factoring of actions to
hypercalls. Also allows tool compatibility to be tracked separately
from the dom0 kernel. The assumption is that it will be easier to
replace libxenctrl, libxenguest and Xen as a matched set if the
dom0 kernel does not need to be replaced too (e.g., because that
would require vendor revalidation).
From here on we hope to maintain dom0 kernel compatibility. This
promise is not extended to tool compatibility beyond the existing
guarantee that compatibility will not be broken within a three-level
stable release [3.0.2, 3.0.3, etc.].

- Remove debugging statements.
- Cope better with archtectures where neither ELF notes or __xen_guest
are needed or required.

correct tool to use for hardware perfctr monitoring now.
Also remove unused xc_msr MSR accessor functions from libxenctrl.

This may allow guest kernels to be run outside ring 3 in future, and
also provides scope for optimisations today (e.g., using global bit on
user mappings).

Changes are:
1) M2P table and e820 table are changed to skip address space from
HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G to 4G.
2) shared io page location, when less than HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G
memory, it's the last page of RAM as today, or it's the last page of
HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G RAM.
3) in qemu-dm address space from HVM_RAM_LIMIT_BELOW_4G to 4G are
stuffed with mfns starting from 4G, so the 1:1 mapping can still works.
This is ugly, but another limit check patch as changeset 10757 will
prevent qemu-dm to access this range. This ugly stuffing will be
removed when the patch to remove 1:1 mapping from qemu-dm gets accepted
in the future.

sizeof(shared_info_t) can change even in compatible hypervisor
versions.
Add a clear warning about this, and fix the few places relying on it.
In addition, add some padding to arch_shared_info, to allow future
additions to the structure without breaking known offsets of members
following it in the shared info.
