Add two members in libxl_domain_remus_info:
netbuf: whether netbuf is enabled
netbufscript: the path of the script which will be run to setup
and tear down the guest's interface.
Add cmdline switches to 'xl remus' command to enable or disable
network buffering and a domain-specific hotplug script to setup
network buffering.
Add a new config var 'remus.default.netbufscript' to xl.conf, that
allows the user to override the default global script used to
setup network buffering.
Note: Network buffering is enabled by default. Disabling network
buffering requires enabling unsafe mode.

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.

During the review it was noticed that it would be better if internally
the claim_mode was held as an 'int' instead of a 'bool'. The reason
is that during the startup of xl, one has call the libxl_defbool_setdefault.
otherwise any usage of claim_mode would result in assert break.
The assert is due to the fact that using defbool without any set
values (either true of false) will cause it hit an assertion.
If we use an 'int' we don't have to worry about it and by default
the value of zero will suffice for checks whether the claim is
enabled or disabled.

The XENMEM_claim_pages hypercall operates per domain and it should be
used system wide. As such this patch introduces a global configuration
option 'claim_mode' that by default is disabled.
If this option is enabled then when a guest is created there will be an
guarantee that there is memory available for the guest. This is an
particularly acute problem on hosts with memory over-provisioned guests
that use tmem and have self-balloon enabled (which is the default option
for them). The self-balloon mechanism can deflate/inflate the balloon
quickly and the amount of free memory (which 'xl info' can show) is stale
the moment it is printed. When claim is enabled a reservation for the
amount of memory ('memory' in guest config) is set, which is then reduced
as the domain's memory is populated and eventually reaches zero.
If the reservation cannot be meet the guest creation fails immediately
instead of taking seconds/minutes (depending on the size of the guest)
while the guest is populated.
Note that to enable tmem type guests, one needs to provide 'tmem' on the
Xen hypervisor argument and as well on the Linux kernel command line.
There are two boolean options:
(0) No claim is made. Memory population during guest creation will be
attempted as normal and may fail due to memory exhaustion.
(1) Normal memory and freeable pool of ephemeral pages (tmem) is used when
calculating whether there is enough memory free to launch a guest.
This guarantees immediate feedback whether the guest can be launched due
to memory exhaustion (which can take a long time to find out if launching
massively huge guests) and in parallel.

Ian's suggestion]

Each time xl forks, it needs to record the pid, so that its exit
status can be preserved if it happens that libxl's event loop reaped
it. Consequently we also have a new wrapper for waitpid, which in
that case returns the previously-reaped status.
When we get a console ready callback from libxl, check to see if we
have spawned but not reaped a previous console client, and if so reap
it now. (This is necessary to prevent improper use of the xlchild
struct, but has the happy consequence of checking the exit status of
the first console client in the pygrub case.)
Refactor the two calls to libxl_ctx_alloc into a new function
xl_ctx_alloc which also sets the child reaped handler callback.
All of this has the effect of suppressing a message
unknown child [nnnn] unexpected exited status zero
which would sometimes (depending on a race) appear with `xl create -c'
and pygrub.

Abolish libxl_fork. Its only callers were in xl. Its functionality
is now moved elsewhere, as follows:
* The "logging version of fork", which is what it was billed as, is now
xl_fork, which also dies on failure.
* Closing the xenstore handle in the child is now done in
libxl__ev_child_fork, which is the only remaining place where fork
is called in libxl.
* We provide a new function libxl__ev_child_xenstore_reopen for
in-libxl children to make the ctx useable for xenstore again.
* Consequently libxl__spawn_record_pid now no longer needs to mess
about with its own xenstore handle. As a bonus it can now just use
libxl__xs_write.
Also, since we have now converted all the forkers in libxl, we can
always honour the fork_replacement childproc hook - so do so.

We introduce a new "carefd" concept, which relates to fds that we care
about not being inherited by long-lived children.
As yet we do not use this anywhere in libxl. Until all locations in
libxl which make such fds are converted, libxl__postfork may not work
entirely properly. If these locations do not use O_CLOEXEC (or use
calls for which there is no O_CLOEXEC) then multithreaded programs may
not work properly.
This introduces a new API call libxl_postfork_child_noexec which must
be called by applications which make long-running non-execing
children. Add the appropriate call to xl's postfork function.

Currently xl passes the entire argc+argv to each subcommand and relies
on the preservation of the global optind variable to ensure that the
subcommand correctly handles argument parsing (e.g. accounting for "xl
[command]" vs "xl -v [command]").
This requirement for individual sub-commands to parse arguments
relative to optind is subtle and prone to being forgotten (or simply
not expected). Several sub-commands have recently been broken in this
way (now fixed).
Therefore arrange that the argv+argc passed to the sub-commands looks
like you would expect for a regular C main function and includes
argv[0] equal to the command name with command specific arguments in
argv[1] onwards.
Since all sub-commands (currently) correctly obey the optind it is
sufficient to reset it to 1 (as described in getopt(3)) in order to
not break the sub-commands' own argument parsing.
