Commit 359970fd8b ("tools/libxl: Switch Arm guest type to PVH") missed
changing the type field in c_info. This issue didn't surface until
ef72c93df9 which made creating PV guest on Arm unusable.

Commit 3b4adba ("tools/libxl: include scheduler parameters in the
output of xl list -l") added scheduling parameters to the set of
information collected by libxl_retrieve_domain_configuration(), in
order to report that information in `xl list -l`.
Unfortunately, libxl_retrieve_domain_configuration() is also called by
the migration / save code, and the results passed to the restore /
receive code. This meant scheduler parameters were inadvertently
added to the migration stream, without proper consideration for how to
handle corner cases. The result was that if migrating from a host
running one scheduler to a host running a different scheduler, the
migration would fail with an error like the following:
libxl: error: libxl_sched.c:232:sched_credit_domain_set: Domain 1:Getting domain sched credit: Invalid argument
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1275:domcreate_rebuild_done: Domain 1:cannot (re-)build domain: -3
Luckily there's a fairly straightforward way to set parameters in a
"best-effort" fashion. libxl provides a single struct containing the
parameters of all schedulers, as well as a parameter specifying which
scheduler. Parameters not used by a given scheduler are ignored.
Additionally, the struct contains a parameter to specify the
scheduler. If you specify a specific scheduler,
libxl_domain_sched_params_set() will fail if there's a different
scheduler. However, if you pass LIBXL_SCHEDULER_UNKNOWN, it will use
the value of the current scheduler for that domain.
In domcreate_stream_done(), before calling libxl__build_post(), set
the scheduler to LIBXL_SCHEDULER_UNKNOWN. This will propagate
scheduler parameters from the previous instantiation on a best-effort
basis.

Currently, the toolstack is considering Arm guest always PV. However,
they are very similar to PVH because HW virtualization extension are used
and QEMU is not started. So switch Arm guest type to PVH.
To keep compatibility with toolstack creating Arm guest with PV type
(e.g libvirt), libxl will now convert those guests to PVH.
Furthermore, the default type for Arm in xl will now be PVH to allow
smooth transition for user.

XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus is a mandatory hypercall, but nothing actually prevents a
toolstack from unpausing a domain with no vcpus.
Originally, d->vcpus[] was an embedded array in struct domain, but c/s
fb442e217 "x86_64: allow more vCPU-s per guest" in Xen 4.0 altered it to being
dynamically allocated. A side effect of this is that d->vcpu[] is NULL until
XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus has completed, but a lot of hypercalls blindly
dereference it.
Even today, the behaviour of XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus is a mandatory singleton
call which can't change the number of vcpus once a value has been chosen.
In preparation to remote the hypercall, extend xen_domctl_createdomain with
the a max_vcpus field and arrange for all callers to pass the appropriate
value. There is no change in construction behaviour yet, but later patches
will rearrange the hypervisor internals.
For the python stubs, extend the domain_create keyword list to take a
max_vcpus parameter, in lieu of deleting the pyxc_domain_max_vcpus function.

In future patches, the structure will be extended with further information,

This is API-compatible because old callers are supposed to call
libxl_*_init to initialise the struct; and the updated function clears
these members.
It is ABI-compatible because the new fields make this member of the
guest type union larger but only within the existing size of that
union.
Unfortunately it is not easy to backport because it depends on the PVH
domain type. Attempts to avoid use of the PVH domain type involved
working with two views of the configuration: the "underlying" domain
type and the "visible" type (and corresponding config info). Also
there are different sets of config settings for PV and PVH, which
callers would have to know to set.
And, unfortunately, it will not be possible, with this approach, to
enable the shim by default for all libxl callers. (Although it could
perhaps be done in xl.)
For now, our config defaults are:
* if enabled, path is "xen-shim" in the xen firmware directory
* if enabled, cmdline is the one we are currently debugging with

In principle it is a reasonable request, to make the PV qemu

soon). So make this option generic.
We retain the name "device model" even though it is arguably
inaccurate, because the xl docs already say, for example

Currently setting altp2mhvm=1 in the domain configuration allows access to the
altp2m interface for both in-guest and external privileged tools. This poses
a problem for use-cases where only external access should be allowed, requiring
the user to compile Xen with XSM enabled to be able to appropriately restrict
access.
In this patch we deprecate the altp2mhvm domain configuration option and
introduce the altp2m option, which allows specifying if by default the altp2m
interface should be external-only or limited. The information is stored in
HVM_PARAM_ALTP2M which we now define with specific XEN_ALTP2M_* modes.
If external mode is selected, the XSM check is shifted to use XSM_DM_PRIV
type check, thus restricting access to the interface by the guest itself. Note
that we keep the default XSM policy untouched. Users of XSM who wish to enforce
external mode for altp2m can do so by adjusting their XSM policy directly,
as this domain config option does not override an active XSM policy.
Also, as part of this patch we adjust the hvmop handler to require
HVM_PARAM_ALTP2M to be of a type other then disabled for all ops. This has been
previously only required for get/set altp2m domain state, all other options
were gated on altp2m_enabled. Since altp2m_enabled only gets set during set
altp2m domain state, this change introduces no new requirements to the other
ops but makes it more clear that it is required for all ops.
