This patch adds basic support for configuring and assisting virtio-mmio
based virtio-disk backend (emulator) which is intended to run out of
Qemu and could be run in any domain.
Although the Virtio block device is quite different from traditional
Xen PV block device (vbd) from the toolstack's point of view:
- as the frontend is virtio-blk which is not a Xenbus driver, nothing
written to Xenstore are fetched by the frontend currently ("vdev"
is not passed to the frontend). But this might need to be revised
in future, so frontend data might be written to Xenstore in order to
support hotplugging virtio devices or passing the backend domain id
on arch where the device-tree is not available.
- the ring-ref/event-channel are not used for the backend<->frontend
communication, the proposed IPC for Virtio is IOREQ/DM
it is still a "block device" and ought to be integrated in existing
"disk" handling. So, re-use (and adapt) "disk" parsing/configuration
logic to deal with Virtio devices as well.
For the immediate purpose and an ability to extend that support for
other use-cases in future (Qemu, virtio-pci, etc) perform the following
actions:
- Add new disk backend type (LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_STANDALONE) and reflect
that in the configuration
- Introduce new disk "specification" and "transport" fields to struct
libxl_device_disk. Both are written to the Xenstore. The transport
field is only used for the specification "virtio" and it assumes
only "mmio" value for now.
- Introduce new "specification" option with "xen" communication
protocol being default value.
- Add new device kind (LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VIRTIO_DISK) as current
one (LIBXL__DEVICE_KIND_VBD) doesn't fit into Virtio disk model
An example of domain configuration for Virtio disk:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mmcblk0p3, xvda1, backendtype=standalone, specification=virtio']
Nothing has changed for default Xen disk configuration.
Please note, this patch is not enough for virtio-disk to work
on Xen (Arm), as for every Virtio device (including disk) we need
to allocate Virtio MMIO params (IRQ and memory region) and pass
them to the backend, also update Guest device-tree. The subsequent
patch will add these missing bits. For the current patch,
the default "irq" and "base" are just written to the Xenstore.
This is not an ideal splitting, but this way we avoid breaking
the bisectability.

When device is removed, backend domain (which may be a driver domain) is
responsible for removing backend entries from xenstore. But in case of
driver domain, it has no access to remove all of them - specifically the
directory named after frontend-id remains. This may accumulate enough to
exceed xenstore quote of the driver domain, breaking further devices.
Fix this by calling libxl__xs_path_cleanup() on the backend path from
libxl__device_destroy() in the toolstack domain too. Note
libxl__device_destroy() is called when the driver domain already removed
what it can (see device_destroy_be_watch_cb()->device_hotplug_done()).

... devices.
Currently there is an assumption built into libxl__device_list() that device
backends are fully enumarated under the '/libxl' path in xenstore. This is
not the case for PCI backend devices, which are only properly enumerated
under '/local/domain/0/backend'.
This patch adds a new get_path() method to libxl__device_type to allow a
backend implementation (such as PCI) to specify the xenstore path where
devices are enumerated and modifies libxl__device_list() to use this method
if it is available. Also, if the get_num() method is defined then the
from_xenstore() method expects to be passed the backend path without the device
number concatenated, so this issue is also rectified.
Having made libxl__device_list() work correctly, this patch removes the
open-coded libxl_pci_device_pci_list() in favour of an evaluation of the
LIBXL_DEFINE_DEVICE_LIST() macro. This has the side-effect of also defining
libxl_pci_device_pci_list_free() which will be used in subsequent patches.
