1) make xenconsoled exit gracefully if xcs dies
2) daemonize xenstored before binding to xenstored socket
3) wait to close stdio in xenstored until we're ready to accept
connections (so that PID=`xenstored --output-pid` doesn't return until
it's ready to accept connections)
4) updates tools/misc/xend for these changes

three patches to fix a problem with Xend starting consoled. consoled
depends on xenstored to be running and xenstored is started on demand in
Xend. The patches change xenstored to manage its own pidfile, and have
xend start actually start up xenstored.
and changes xm to simply exec /usr/libexec/xen/xc_console.
I've done a pretty good amount of testing and this seems to clear up all
of the Xend console issues in bugzilla.
This is a pretty big change to Xend though with a lot of deleted code so
I'd appreciate if people more familiar with the Xend codebase could look
through it critically.
In addition to the patch, the following files are no longer used:
tools/python/xen/util/console_client.py
tools/python/xen/xend/XendConsole.py
tools/python/xen/xend/server/SrvConsole.py
tools/python/xen/xend/server/SrvConsoleDir.py

and security policy-versioning and data structures in the xen subtree
(ACM):
* the very generic tools directory name "policy" is changed to
"security" and the included "policy_tool" to "secpol_tool"
* the single constant POLICY_INTERFACE_VERSION is replaced
by ACM_INTERFACE_VERSION; the security policy headers are
versioned independently since the policy can be supplied
at boot time instead of through the hypervisor interface

active at startup; this works by adding a module line into the grub
configuration file and placing the binary policy generated by the
policy tool into the boot directory; This assumes that a maximum of
one module line is used for the initrd in the grub configuration
file - Question: do users pass more than one module to the kernel?
- enables the policy hypervisor call on x86/64
- some function prototypes moved to include files
- moves the version number in the java tool up to the current
version (a better way of doing this will be submitted soon)

When xend starts, it fires off xcs. If you're running on a slow
machine its possible that xcs started but xend didnt wait long
enough to notice. The attached patch loops several times while
waiting for xcs to come up. It seems to be working here while the
original is not (slow machine here).

Nothing but vnet uses libxutil -- move it there.
Makefile, xc.c, setup.py, configure, configure.in, Makefile.in:
This doesn't use libxutil.
Makefile, Makefile.vnet, Rules.mk:
Move libxutil into vnet since it's only used there.

Slightly, but just because having /usr/lib/python in my sys.path is
ugly :-) I can look over it, though... patch doing that attached

Added the mbootpack tool, which packages multiboot boot files and
disguises them as a linux bzImage. Useful for booting Xen using
pxelinux, or another linux-only bootloader.

[PATCH] add-build.patch
Add build targets to all makefiles. Debian does builds as non-root, so
it's better to do as much as possible before requiring root privs.

Description: Split compile/link stages
distcc behaves much better when you compile and link in 2 separate steps.
Plus, this is a more standard way of doing things.
