Daniel De Graaf dc52d92824 libxc: Fix checks on grant notify arguments
The notify offset and event channels are both unsigned variables, so
testing for >= 0 will not correctly detect the use of -1 to indicate
the field is unused. Remove the useless comparison and replace with
correct range checks or comparisons to -1.

Shriram Rajagopalan de869779a0 tools/libxc: introduce xc_memalign in xc_{minios,linux,solaris,netbsd}.c
Move (page aligned) buffer allocations in {os}_privcmd_alloc_hypercall_buffer
into a global function xc_memalign. This API is also used by Remus
compression code to allocate compression caches that need to be page aligned.

Daniel De Graaf 399a74471d libxc: add xc_gntshr_* functions
These functions and the xc_gntshr device (/dev/xen/gntalloc on linux)
allow applications to create pages shared with other domains.

Daniel De Graaf 1f5552006d libxc: add xc_gnttab_map_grant_ref_notify
Normally, when a userspace process mapping a grant crashes, the domain
providing the reference receives no indication that its peer has
crashed, possibly leading to unexpected freezes or timeouts. This
function provides a notification of the unmap by signalling an event
channel and/or clearing a specific byte in the page.

This also unifies the 3 very similar grant-mapping osdep interfaces into
a single function instead of introducing yet another minor variation.

Ian Campbell 44baceec2d libxc: osdep: convert hypercall buffer allocation
This will allow us to use OS specific interfaces to ensure that the
allocated memory is safe for use as a hypercall buffer in the future.

Daniel De Graaf 618a3fb38b libxc: Remove set_max_grants in linux
The maximum number of grants is now constrained domain-wide in linux,
so set_max_grants should be a noop there. Previously, this constraint
was per-file-description.

Ian Campbell d2c71cadc5 libxc: refactor Linux OS interface into a separate file.
This helps ensure that the osdep abstraction is complete by
allowing us to avoid including xc_private.h.

All the other OS backends could benefit from the same treatment but
since I cannot compile test I did not do this.
