We remove six lines of boilerplate from the top of each function, and
instead have a single struct libxl_ctx which is initialised once at
the top of main.
Likewise we wrap domain_qualifier_to_domid in a new function
find_domain, which does the error handling, and stores the domid and
the specified name (if applicable).
This reduces the size of xl.c by 7% (!)
As a beneficial side effect, the earlier call to libxl_ctx_set_log in
main makes some lost messages appear.

Provide a new function xs_daemon_destroy_postfork which can be called
by a libxenstore user who has called fork, to close the fd for the
connection to xenstored and free the memory, without trying to do
anything to any threads which libxenstore may have created.
Use this new function in libxl_fork, to avoid accidental use of a
xenstore connection in both parent and child.
Also, fix the doc comment for libxl_spawn_spawn to have the success
return codes the right way round.

* Expose libxl_fork in libxl_utils.h
* Expose libxl_pipe in libxl_utils.h
* Make libxl_exec put SIGPIPE back (so that libxl callers may
have SIGPIPE ignored)
xl would like to use libxl_fork (which is like fork(2) except that it
logs errors) and also a similar function libxl_pipe. So put these in
libxl_utils.[ch] and use them in libxl.c as appropriate, to avoid
having to duplicate code between xl and libxl.
Also, make sure that subprocesses spawned by libxl have SIGPIPE set
back to SIG_DFL as they are entitled to expect. This means that a
libxl caller which sets SIGPIPE to SIG_IGN is no longer buggy. (This
is relevant for xl migration, because xl would like to be such a
caller.)

We introduce these functions in libxl_utils.h:
int libxl_read_file_contents(struct libxl_ctx *ctx, const char
*filename,
void **data_r, int *datalen_r);
int libxl_read_exactly(struct libxl_ctx *ctx, int fd, void *data,
ssize_t sz,
const char *filename, const char *what);
int libxl_write_exactly(struct libxl_ctx *ctx, int fd, const void
*data,
ssize_t sz, const char *filename, const char
*what);
They will be needed by the following patches. They have to be in
libxl.a rather than libxutil.a because they will be used, amongst
other places, in libxl itself.

vms API filters utility domains like stubdomains, and domain 0

uuid handles in create and now create_device_model need to fill the
uuid field by client. the uuid field happens to be the exact same size
as the standard uuid (sixteen 8 bits values).
stubdom need to have a uuid when created, so using the one in
create_device_model.
this permits the client library to generate the uuid in any way it see
fits (even if it's not compliant to any standard), and simplify
installation of the libxenlight header.
xl converted from libuuid generated uuid to generated through random()
C call. need to be fixed if anyone plan to use xl for anything
seriously apart from developing libxl.

This patch implements functions in libxenlight to change the cdrom in
a VM at run time and to handle cdrom eject requests from guests.
This patch adds two new commands to xl: cd-insert and cd-eject; it
also modifies xl to handle cdrom eject requests coming from guests
(actually coming from qemu).

It turns out that there is a better way to write stubdoms logs to file
than using libxl_console_attach: qemu is the one that provides the
console backend for stubdoms and qemu is able to redirect a serial to
file, so we can use this feature to make sure the first stubdom
console is always redirected to a logfile.

- set the domid of the guest and not the one of the stubdom in the
libxl_device_model_starting returned to the user;
- check that the length of the two strings matches in
libxl_name_to_domid, otherwise we can get a match for two different
domains that have the same initial part of the name.

This patch moves the logging macros to the public header so that they
can be reused by the client of the library. It also refactors the
code to create the qemu logfile into a generic function that can be
reused to create generic xen logfiles under /var/log/xen. Finally xl
is changed to log to file when running in background.

this patch implements stubdom support for libxenlight:
- it adds two functions to find the stubdom domid of a domain and to
figure out if a certain domain is actually a stubdom;
- it moves all the device init functions from xl.c to libxl.c because
they are needed to setup the devices of stubdoms;
- it fixes some bugs in the pci setup that prevented pci passthrough
from working correctly with stubdoms.

In particular:
- all the temporary flexarrays allocated in the create
device functions must be freed;
- all the strings that don't need to be modified can be added as they
are
to these temporary flexarrays instead of duplicating them;
- any data returned to the user shouldn't be added to the global
memory tracker so that the user can free it whenever he wishes.

osdeps.[hc] previously mistakenly declared and defined [v]asprintf.
These functions are available in the libc on most platforms. Also,
osdeps.h is used by xc.c but xc.c is not part of the library, so
osdeps.h is part of the public interface and should have a better
name.
So now, instead:
* osdeps.h is libxl_osdeps.h.
* _GNU_SOURCE is #defined in libxl_osdeps.h so that we get the system
[v]asprintf (and various other functions)
* libxl_osdeps.h is included first in every libxl*.c file (it needs
to be before any system headers so that _GNU_SOURCE) takes effect.
* osdeps.[hc] only provide their own reimplementation of [v]asprintf
if NEED_OWN_ASPRINTF is defined. Currently it is not ever defined
but this is provided for any platform which needs it.
* While I was editing the #includes in each .c file, I put them all
into the same order: "libxl_osdeps.h", then system headers,
then local headers.
* xs.h is included in libxl.h. This is needed for "bool"; it has to
not be typedefed in libxl.h because otherwise we get a duplicate
definition when including xs.h.
