Do not free frontend resources if some error happened, since the
backend may not have finished properly restarting in such case.

minios frontends must wait for backends to be shut down and

This fixes xenbus initialization of blkfront, netfront and pcifront
by uniformizing with fbfront: after writing parameters, set state to
initialised, then wait for backend to switch to connect state, and
then only read its parameter and switch to the connect state.

The return value of Xenbus routines xenbus_transaction_start(),
xenbus_printf(), xenbus_transaction_end(), etc. is a pointer of error
message. This pointer should be passed to free() to release the
allocated memory when it is no longer needed.

In a lot of places in MiniOS frontends, xenbus_watch_path_token is
used instead of xenbus_watch_path to get more precise wake ups. To
free those, xenbus_unwatch_path_token has to be used instead of
xenbus_unwatch_path, else the unwatch operation will fail. This fixes
spurious watch events left by pv-grub.

As part of making stubdom usable on NetBSD, it is necessary to

Implement xenbus_wait_for_state_change and xenbus_switch_state and
change the various frontends to use the two functions and do proper
error checking.

This patch removes the need for a second configuration file for
stubdoms: it is going to be automatically generated by the script
stubdom-dm using command line options and xenstore to find any needed
information.
The configuration script will be placed under /etc/xen/stubdoms and
automatically removed when the domain is destroyed.
The only change needed in xend is not to write on xenstore sdl,
opengl and serial command line options for qemu, because stubdoms do
not support them.
It is safe to remove those two options from xenstore because qemu does
not use xenstore to read commans line options.
Finally this patch fixes blkfront disconnections from backends and
display and xauthority variables for pv guests.

The corruption happens every time we pass a sector aligned buffer
(instead of a page aligned buffer) to blkfront_aio. To trigger the COW
we have to write at least a byte to each page of the buffer, but we
must be careful not to overwrite useful content.

This makes stubdom use the host's gcc instead of downloading/compiling
binutils+gcc. That requires a bunch of changes and even uncovered a
few bugs, but saves a lot of time.

This fetches GRUB1 sources, applies the {graphical, print function,
save default, and ext3_256byte} patches from debian, and applies a
patch to make it work on x86_64 and port it to Mini-OS. By using
libxc, PV-GRUB can then "kexec" the loaded kernel from inside the
domain itself, hence permitting to avoid the security-concerned
pygrub.

if the callback calls blkfront_sync for instance.
In such a case, we would see responses and hence release grants
several times. We need to be more synchronous and stop when we detect
that we have re-entered.

evtchn_bind_interdomain used to clear any already pending event before
binding a handler, because else the handler may be called before it is
ready. That however leads to missed events, which I had to workaround
for the HVM case.
This changes the semantics of bind_evtchn, and thus of all the
event channel binding functions (bind_virq, evtchn_alloc_unbound,
evtchn_bind_interdomain) into not unmasking the event itself, hence
letting the caller initialize properly before unmasking the port (e.g.
record the port number in an appropriate place).

- Move PAGE_SIZE and STACK_SIZE into __PAGE_SIZE and __STACK_SIZE in
arch_limits.h so as to permit getting them from there without
pulling all the internal Mini-OS defines.
- Setup a xen-elf cross-compilation environment in stubdom/cross-root
- Add a POSIX layer on top of Mini-OS by linking against the newlib C
library and lwIP, and implementing the Unixish part in mini-os/lib/sys.c
- Cross-compile zlib and libpci too.
- Add an xs.h-compatible layer on top of Mini-OS' xenbus.
- Cross-compile libxc with an additional xc_minios.c and a few things
disabled.
- Cross-compile ioemu with an additional block-vbd, but without sound,
tpm and other details. A few hacks are needed:
- Align ide and scsi buffers at least on sector size to permit
direct transmission to the block backend. While we are at it, just
page-align it to possibly save a segment. Also, limit the scsi
buffer size because of limitations of the block paravirtualization
protocol.
- Allocate big tables dynamically rather that letting them go to
bss: when Mini-OS gets installed in memory, bss is not lazily
allocated, and doing so during Mini-OS is unnecessarily trick while
we can simply use malloc.
- Had to change the Mini-OS compilation somehow, so as to export
Mini-OS compilation flags to the Makefiles of libxc and ioemu.
