Previously, the code was inconsistent: some calls to PERROR passed \n
and some did not. With the new logging arrangements, passing \n is
definitely incorrect.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.

'xm info' command now also gives the cpu topology & host numa
information. This will be later used to build guest numa support. The
patch basically changes physinfo sysctl, and adds topology_info &
numa_info sysctls, and also changes the python & libxc code
accordingly.

Using a function, and then declaring it weak later, has undefined
behaviour:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
xc_misc.c:388: error: weak declaration of 'xc_map_foreign_bulk'
after first use results in unspecified behavior
So swap the functions xc_map_foreign_pages and xc_map_foreign_bulk.

Just like the kernel, the fallback implementation of
xc_map_foreign_bulk() should clear the error indication array upon
success.
Also, a few allocations were needlessly using calloc() instead of
malloc().
Finally, in xc_domain_save() allocate the error indicator array once
(along with the other arrays) instead of using realloc() (without
error checking) in the loop body.

Allow certain performance-critical hypercall wrappers to register data
buffers via a new interface which allows them to be 'bounced' into a
pre-mlock'ed page-sized per-thread data area. This saves the cost of
mlock/munlock on every such hypercall, which can be very expensive on
modern kernels.

Replace all calls to xc_map_foreign_batch() where the caller doesn't
look at the passed in array to check for errors by calls to
xc_map_foreign_pages(). Replace all remaining calls by such to the
newly introduced xc_map_foreign_bulk().
As a sideband modification (needed while writing the patch to ensure
they're unused) eliminate unused parameters to
uncanonicalize_pagetable() and xc_map_foreign_batch_single(). Also
unmap live_p2m_frame_list earlier in map_and_save_p2m_table(),
reducing the peak amount of virtual address space required.
All supported OSes other than Linux continue to use the old ioctl for
the time being.
Also change libxc's MAJOR to 4.0 to reflect the API change.

This adds a new HVM op that enables tracking dirty bits of a range of
video RAM. The idea is to optimize just for the most common case
(only one guest mapping, with sometimes some temporary other
mappings), which permits to keep the overhead on shadow as low as
possible.

xc_map_foreign_batch() can succeed partially. It is awkward to use
when you're only interested in complete success. Provide new
xc_map_foreign_pages() convenience function for that kind of use.

TODO:
1. Fix IO-APIC ID to not conflict with LAPIC IDS.
2. Fix i8259 device model (seems to work already though!).
3. Add INTSRC overrides in MPBIOS and ACPI tables so
that PCI legacy IRQ routing always ends up at an
IO-APIC input with level trigger. Restricting link
routing to {5,6,10,11} and setting overrides for all
four of those would work.

This simplifies the IRQ logic significantly and avoids the bogus
hvm_pic_assist() on domain resume path.
There is more work to be done here. At least:
1. set-irq-level should really be set-interrupt-wire-level. Wire
state needs to be distinguished from PIC (in particular, PIC IRR)
state.
2. Hypercalls can be batched in qemu and pushed down in one
multicall.

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.].

move the shared info and grant table pfns into that block. This
allows us to remove the get_gnttablist dom0 op, and simplifies the
domain creation code slightly. Having the reserved block managed by
Xen may also make it slightly easier to handle the case where the
grant table needs to be extended at run time.

Valgrind cannot see when a hypercall has initialised entries in a data
structure, so appropriate memsets have been placed before using dom0_op_t,
privcmd_hypercall_t, and a couple of miscellaneous blocks passed into this
layer. This initialises the block so that valgrind considers it to be valid,
but the data therein will be immediately overwritten by the hypercall, all
being well.
These changes are semantically neutral if -DVALGRIND is not set.

that loop completely -- the xc_init_store, initDomainStore calls can all go.
Have xenstored understand where the local domain information goes. Xend no
longer has to generate a path and pass it to xenstored through
xs_introduce_domain -- we just allow xenstored to generate the path, and then
call GetDomainPath later. There is still some work required to tidy this up.
Change the uuid module to generate uuids as lists of bytes, not in the
stringified form. Added a unit test for that module.
Change the semantics of Xend restart, relying on these changes to the
xenstored semantics and earlier changes to add an opaque handle to the
hypervisor's domain-specific data block. The semantics are now clearer, as
Xend can validate whether the details in the store match the current live
domain.
Added a usage statement to xenstored.
