all the related devices should be owned by pciback;
4) detect and disallow duplicate pci string specified in guest config

Tmem can share clean page cache pages for Linux domains
in a virtual cluster (currently only the ocfs2 filesystem
has a patch on the Linux side). So when one domain
"puts" (evicts) a page, any domain in the cluster can
"get" it, thus saving disk reads. This functionality
is already present; these are only bug fixes.
- fix bugs when an SE pool is destroyed
- fixes in parsing tool for xm tmem-list output for SE pools
- incorrect locking in one case for destroying an SE pool
- clearer verbosity for transfer when an SE pool is destroyed
- minor cleanup: merge routines that are mostly duplicate

This patch support exchange a page for a suspended PV guest from user
space.
The basic idea to offline a page is:
1) mark a page offline pending
2) If the page is owned by a HVM domain, user have to live migrate it.
In future, with stub-domain support, we can also exchange the page
without migration.
3) If the page is owned by a PV domain, we will try to exchange the
offline pending page to a new one and free the old page.
This patch achieves item 3.
The method to exchange the offline pending page for PV domain is:
1) Suspend the guest.
2) If the page is being granted out, return with offline pending.
3) Get a copy for the content
4) Scan all page table page to see if any reference to the offending
page, if yes, make the entry to be non-present to reduce the reference
count.
5) After update all page tables, user space tools will try to exchange
the old page. If the new mfn has no reference anymore (i.e.
count_info & count_mask =3D 1), the exchange will allocate a new page,
update the m2p and return success, otherwise it will return fail.
6) If step 5 is success, user space tools will update the content of
the new page change the p2m table, and change all entries scaned in
step 4 to point to new entry.
if step failed, it will try to undo step 4 to revert page table.
7) Resume the guest.

This fixes the check for a request to detatch a non-existent device
in pci_device_configure. The previous check was bogus because the
format of AUTO_PHP_SLOT_STR is not the same as that of x['vslot'].
However, it works in a slightly non-obvious way, checking that vslot
hasn't been altered from its initial value AUTO_PHP_SLOT_STR. To
make this shceme a little clearer, use an empty string as the inital
value.
Formting issues asside, neither AUTO_PHP_SLOT_STR nor the empty
string are valid values for x['vslot']. In the event
of invalid data (indicating a bug), it should be caught by
self.hvm_destroyPCIDevice.

Currently there are two interfaces to pass-through PCI devices:
1. A method driven through per-device xenstore entries that is used at
boot-time
2. An event-based method used for hot-plug.
This seems somewhat redundant and makes extending the code cumbersome
and prone to error - often the change needs to be made twice, in
two different ways.
This patch unifies PCI pass-through by using the existing event-based
method at boot-time.

This is another attempt at having pci-list produce consistent output.
Without this change there differences in the output of both vslots
and domain occur for domains that have never been started and domains
that have been started.
In order to address this I have taken the approach of
using integers where possible and explicitly formating them,
rather than relying on string representations that are present in
data structures.
I have also re-used the common part of the format, to try
and mitigate. the possibility of future inconsistencies there.
This patch also:
* Removes trailing whitespace
* Removes unnecessary brackets and whitespace from print invocations
* Prints the header outside of the loop to avoid having
to maintain a state variable

This patch updates info['platform']['pci'] for PCI devices
assignment to domains.
When a domain is started, xend confirms by using xc.test_assign_device
whether PCI devices can be assigned to the domain. For the
confirmation, info['platform']['pci'] must be an appropriate value.
However, info['platform']['pci'] may be not appropriate. Because
info['platform']['pci'] isn't almost always updated even if the PCI
device configuration of the domain was changed by using xm
pci-attach/detach. This patch updates info['platform']['pci'] to the
appropriate value when domains are started.

I've checked the duplicate-check code here and I found that's checked
only in the context of one domain but not cross-domain. The thing is
that we should check tap/vbd device cross-domain not to allow another
guest to use the same disk image in some circumstances to prevent VM's
disk corruption.
The patch included denies disk image addition under those
circumstances:
1. We're adding read-only disk that's already used as write-exclusive
2. We're adding write-shared disk that's already used as
write-exclusive
3. We're adding write-exclusive disk that's already used
4. We're adding read-only disk that's already used as write-shared*
(because of I/O caching issues etc.)
The vif device duplicate check remains the same it was and it's
checked in the context of current domain only so that behaviour has
been preserved.

Benefits to blktap2 over the old version of blktap:
* Isolation from xenstore - Blktap devices are now created directly on
the linux dom0 command line, rather than being spawned in response
to XenStore events. This is handy for debugging, makes blktap
generally easier to work with, and is a step toward a generic
user-level block device implementation that is not Xen-specific.
* Improved tapdisk infrastructure: simpler request forwarding, new
request scheduler, request merging, more efficient use of AIO.
* Improved tapdisk error handling and memory management. No
allocations on the block data path, IO retry logic to protect
guests
transient block device failures. This has been tested and is known
to work on weird environments such as NFS soft mounts.
* Pause and snapshot of live virtual disks (see xmsnap script).
* VHD support. The VHD code in this release has been rigorously
tested, and represents a very mature implementation of the VHD
image
format.
* No more duplication of mechanism with blkback. The blktap kernel
module has changed dramatically from the original blktap. Blkback
is now always used to talk to Xen guests, blktap just presents a
Linux gendisk that blkback can export. This is done while
preserving the zero-copy data path from domU to physical device.
These patches deprecate the old blktap code, which can hopefully be
removed from the tree completely at some point in the future.

Tmem, when called from a tmem-capable (paravirtualized) guest, makes
use of otherwise unutilized ("fallow") memory to create and manage
pools of pages that can be accessed from the guest either as
"ephemeral" pages or as "persistent" pages. In either case, the pages
are not directly addressible by the guest, only copied to and fro via
the tmem interface. Ephemeral pages are a nice place for a guest to
put recently evicted clean pages that it might need again; these pages
can be reclaimed synchronously by Xen for other guests or other uses.
Persistent pages are a nice place for a guest to put "swap" pages to
avoid sending them to disk. These pages retain data as long as the
guest lives, but count against the guest memory allocation.
Tmem pages may optionally be compressed and, in certain cases, can be
shared between guests. Tmem also handles concurrency nicely and
provides limited QoS settings to combat malicious DoS attempts.
Save/restore and live migration support is not yet provided.
Tmem is primarily targeted for an x86 64-bit hypervisor. On a 32-bit
x86 hypervisor, it has limited functionality and testing due to
limitations of the xen heap. Nearly all of tmem is
architecture-independent; three routines remain to be ported to ia64
and it should work on that architecture too. It is also structured to
be portable to non-Xen environments.
Tmem defaults off (for now) and must be enabled with a "tmem" xen boot
option (and does nothing unless a tmem-capable guest is running). The
"tmem_compress" boot option enables compression which takes about 10x
more CPU but approximately doubles the number of pages that can be
stored.
Tmem can be controlled via several "xm" commands and many interesting
tmem statistics can be obtained. A README and internal specification
will follow, but lots of useful prose about tmem, as well as Linux
patches, can be found at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem .

In the case where a device is attached to an inactive domain

This patch adds the option "superpages" to the domain configuration
file. If it is set, the domain is populated using 2M pages.
This code does not support fallback to small pages. If the domain can
not be created with 2M pages, the create will fail.
The patch also includes support for saving and restoring domains with
the superpage flag set. However, if a domain has freed small pages
within its physical page array and then extended the array, the
restore will fill in those freed pages. It will then attempt to
allocate more than its memory limit and will fail. This is
significant because apparently Linux does this during boot, thus a
freshly booted Linux image can not be saved and restored successfully.

When a PCI function is passed-through extra options may be passed
through.
In the case of boot-time PCI pass-through the documented format is:
[dom:]bus:dev.slot[@vslot][[,opt]...]
e.g.
00:01.00.1@7,msitranslate=3D1
In the case of PCI hot-plug the xm pci-attach command take the
following arguments:
[-o opt[,opt]...] [dom:]bus:dev.slot [vslot]
e.g.
-o msitranslate=3D1 00:01.00.1 7
These xm ends up passing these to xem-qemu as:
[dom:]bus:dev.slot[[,opt]...][@vslot]
e.g.
00:01.00.1,msitranslate=3D1@7
Note that the option and the vslot have are transposed when
compared to the format used by boot-time PCI pass-through.
The parser inside qemu-xen can only handle the format used by
boot-time PCI pass-through and because of this ignores
any options passed by hot-plug.
This patch alters format used by hot-plug to match the parser.
