I've retained xen.lowlevel.{xc,xs} since they seem more widely useful. I also
kept xen.lowlevel.xl even though it is disabled by default and IMHO useless in
its current form.
I've tried to clean up the various associated bits like example configs, init
scripts, udev rules etc but no doubt I have missed something, those can easily
be cleaned up later.
I've also removed xm-test since although it could in theory be reworked to
test xl it hasn't been touched for years. If someone wants to resurrect it
then they could do so via the git history.
This has been built but not runtime tested.

I'm not even sure what this thing is. Looks like some sort of Twisted Python
based frontend to xend.
Whatever it is I am perfectly sure no one can be using it. Apart from drive by
build fixes caused by updates elsewhere it has seen no real development since
2005. I suspect it was never even finished/usable.

They are rather incomplete and have no users or maintainer. Many of the
functions which do exsit raise a NotImplemented exception. Disable them so that
users of the 4.2 release aren't confused into trying to use them.
This only does the minimal to disable them and makes it easy to locally
reenable if anyone wants to hack these into shape in the future.

This completely removes libxenstore from libxl users' view.
xl still needs libxenctrl directly due to the direct use of the
xentoollog functionality but it is not exposed to the indirect linkage
anymore.

In particular if binary A uses libB and libB uses libC entirely
internally then A does not need to link against libC only libB.
However when linking binary A the linker does need to have visibility
of the libraries which libB links against (libC in this example). For
out of tree uses this is achieved without fuss due because the
libraries are installed in a standard path. However in the case of
in-tree users the linker needs a hint in the form of the -rpath-link
option. Therefore a new class of build variable, $(SHLIB_FOO), is
introduced which includes the linker options needed to link against a
library which uses libFOO. The intention is that $(LDLIBS_bar) will
include the $(SHLIB_foo)s which it uses where necessary rather
requiring that users are aware of this.
For the python extensions this change appears particularly large since
previously each of python bindings were linked against the union of
all possible libraries used by all bindings instead of just what they
individually needed.
This change removes a dependency on libdl.so from nearly everything
in the system, only libxenctrl actually uses it.
In the context of xl/libxl the intention of libxl is to remove any
need for a user of libxl to know about libxenstore or libxenctrl,
however in the current build it is xl which links against those
libraries rather than libxl (which only links against libc). After
this change libxl correctly depends on the libraries it uses and xl
does not depend on libraries which it is not support to be required to
know about. Note that xl does depend on libxenctrl.so since it uses
xtl_* directly.

Introduce python binding for libxl. The binding is not yet complete but
serveral methods are implemented and tested. Those which are implemented
provide examples of the two or three basic patterns that most future
methods should follow.
Over 5,000 lines of boilerplate is automatically generated to wrap and
export all relevant libxl structure definitions. There are a few places
where such code cannot be fully auto-generated and special hooks are
declared and stubbed where, for example, conversion between
libxl_file_reference and a python file object is required.
