The latest ELF changes have a null pointer dereference bug when you
have neither an elf notes section nor a __xen_guest_string. This patch
checks for the existence of the __xen_guest_string prior to using it.
Please apply. Thanks,
Alex

1. platform_op -- used by dom0 kernel to perform actions on the
hardware platform (e.g., MTRR access, microcode update, platform
quirks, ...)
2. domctl -- used by management tools to control a specified domain
3. sysctl -- used by management tools for system-wide actions
Benefits include more sensible factoring of actions to
hypercalls. Also allows tool compatibility to be tracked separately
from the dom0 kernel. The assumption is that it will be easier to
replace libxenctrl, libxenguest and Xen as a matched set if the
dom0 kernel does not need to be replaced too (e.g., because that
would require vendor revalidation).
From here on we hope to maintain dom0 kernel compatibility. This
promise is not extended to tool compatibility beyond the existing
guarantee that compatibility will not be broken within a three-level
stable release [3.0.2, 3.0.3, etc.].

This will allow the tools management to be revised independently
of dom0 kernel interfaces. Currently tools cannot be 'smarter'
than the kernel in terms of hypercalls they know about, because
the kernel disallows access to any hypercalls it does not know
about.

1) Fixed HCT test "Unreported Memory and I/O Port test" for memory
range 0xC0000~0xFFFFF and IO 0x378
2) Make consistent with non-acpi OS by enabling LPT1, remove com2
which conflicts with usb mouse
3) Fixed the USB HID-Compliant mouse when set
usbdevice='tablet'/'mouse'
4) Fixed Vista boot by removing old NIC "resourceConsumer"

The xen_guest_string should not be examined directly and the ppc code
doesn't use it yet anyway.

This supercedes 11243:51a98a6c2c054bfc37c90a5a3f29929f2347bda8
which was incorrect because the data operand type codes in
the opcode table are not correct for some special cases: one
of these happens to be PUSH, which is the instruction we
particularly need to fix!

faulting memory access was to/from an implicit memory operand
(typically either an instruction fetch or stack access).
Rationalise use of macros for page fault error code flags.
This patch supercedes the fix in changeset 11242.

- Remove debugging statements.
- Cope better with archtectures where neither ELF notes or __xen_guest
are needed or required.

correct tool to use for hardware perfctr monitoring now.
Also remove unused xc_msr MSR accessor functions from libxenctrl.

ELF notes provide a cleaner interface for passing Xen specific
information from the kernel to the domain builder than the existing
__xen_guest section string. The __xen_guest string is retained in
kernels built with 3.0.2 compatability for domU however dom0 requires
the new interface.

This may allow guest kernels to be run outside ring 3 in future, and
also provides scope for optimisations today (e.g., using global bit on
user mappings).

This makes the script more idempotent if run twice (e.g. from hotplug and udev), since the second time the device will be taken down and not brought up again, leaving the host without networking.

When running 'xm info' it appears thus:
# xm info

xend_config_format : 2
It will also appear in the SEXPR returned when doing a GET on the
/xend/node path in XenD's HTTP service:
(node

(cc_compile_domain build.redhat.com)
(cc_compile_date 'Tue Jul 11 22:50:42 EDT 2006')

)
The patch sets the format to value '2' to indicate that we're on the version
with the new style HVM configuration for CDROM devices. The old style having
implicitly been version '1'.
