These functions and the xc_gntshr device (/dev/xen/gntalloc on linux)
allow applications to create pages shared with other domains.

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.

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.

Add a dummy backend which always returns ENOSYS. Mainly as a compile
time testbed rather than because it is a useful backend.

i.e. not running on a real hypervisor
Allows users of the library to adjust behaviour. I don't especially
like this violation of the abstraction but both oxenstored and xapi
use this to avoid difficult to simulate operations when running on the
simulator.

do_privcmd() was only ever used by do_xen_hypercall() so remove it.

and close operations on privcmd, evtchn and gnttab devices.
