Some distro kernels do not handle spurious page faults so allow these
to be supressed on a per VM basis.

When creating an HVM domain, if e.g. another domain is created before
qemu allocates video memory, the extra 8MB memory ballooning is not
available any more, because it got consumed by the other domain.
This fixes it by taking video memory from the main memory:
- make hvmloader use e820_malloc to reserve some of the main memory
and notify ioemu of its address through the Xen platform PCI card.
- add XENMAPSPACE_mfn to the xen_add_to_physmap memory op, to allow
ioemu to move the MFNs between the original position and the PCI
mapping, when LFB acceleration is disabled/enabled
- add a remove_from_physmap memory op, to allow ioemu to unmap it
completely for the case of old guests with acceleration disabled.
- add xc_domain_memory_translate_gpfn_list to libxc to allow ioemu to
get the MFNs of the video memory.
- have xend save the PCI memory space instead of ioemu: if a memory
page is there, the guest can access it like usual memory, so xend
can safely be responsible to save it. The extra benefit is that
live migration will apply the logdirty optimization there too.
- handle old saved images, populating the video memory from ioemu if
really needed.

This event channel will be notified when the domain transitions to the
suspended state, which can be much faster than raising VIRQ_DOM_EXC
and waiting for the notification to be propagated via xenstore.
No attempt is made here to prevent multiple subscribers (last one
wins), or to detect that the subscriber has gone away. Userspace tools
should take care.

Domctl interface is extended to allow libxc retrieve device group
information from hypervisor. Vendor-specific iommu_ops is also
extended by adding a new operation "get_device_group_id()", which is
currently a null pointer but could be implemented later for vt-d.
Error will be raised from tools side when user trying to assign PCI
device with a sibling device being driven by dom0. User will keep
being prompted until he has hidden the entire device group (at least,
the sibling devices driven by dom0) in dom0 kernel
parameter. Hopefully this framework could be flexible enough to
support both amd iommu and vt-d.
The following 2 cases are not covered by this patch, but should be
easy to handle.
* Checking for hot-plug devices (maybe we can delay calling
ImageHandler.signalDeviceModel() until all checks are done?)
* Checking for splitted device group between different passthru
domains

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.

** Currently only 2 virtual hotplug pci slots(6~7) are created so more
than 2 vtd dev can't be hotplugged, but we can easily extend it in
future.
Three new commands are added:
"xm pci-list domid" show the current assigned vtd device, like:
VSlt domain bus slot func
0x6 0x0 0x02 0x00 0x0
"xm pci-detach" hot remove the specified vtd device by the virtual
slot, like:
xm pci-detach EdwinHVMDomainVtd 6
"xm pci-attach DomainID dom bus dev func [vslot]" hot add a new vtd
device in the vslot. If no vslot specified, a free slot will be picked
up. e.g. to insert '0000:03:00.0':
xm pci-attach EdwinHVMDomainVtd 0 3 0 0
** guest pci hotplug

Stubdomains (and probably other domain disagregation elements too)
need to be able to tinker with another domain. This adds IS_PRIV_FOR
that extends IS_PRIV by allowing domains to have privileges over a
given "target" domain. XEN_DOMCTL_set_target permits to set this
"target". A new 'target' configuration option makes the domain builder
use it.

This makes use of the domain config option guest_os_type for
ia64 and removes the backing for the previous ACPI based
mechanism used previously. A user wanting optimal performance
for a specific type of OS guest running in an HVM domain should
make use of this new option. See updated xmexmaple.vti for
available options. All supported OSes should always work using
the default option or leaving the option unspecified. Originally
based on patch from Zhang Xin.
