xc_domain_save/restore currently pay no attention to
HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN which results in an HVM domain running a recent
version on Windows (post-Vista) locking up on a domain restore due to
EOIs (done via a viridian MSR write) being silently dropped. This
patch adds an extra save entry for the viridian parameter and also
adds code in the viridian kernel module to catch attempted use of
viridian functionality when the HVM parameter has not been set.

Without this change it is not possible to page-out all guest pages, then
trigger a page-in for all pages, and then page-out everything once
again. All pages in the mru list can not be paged out because they
remain active in the internal bitmap of paged pages.
Use the mru list only if the number of paged-out pages is larger than
the mru list. If the number is smaller, start to clear the mru list. In
case the number of paged-out pages drops to zero the mru list and the
internal bitmap will be empty as well.
Also add a new interface for dropped pages. If a gfn was dropped there
is no need to adjust the mru list because dropping a page is not usage
of a page.

Introduce a cmdline handling for the pager. This simplifies libxl support,
debug and mru_size are not passed via the environment anymore.
The new interface looks like this:
xenpaging [options] -f <pagefile> -d <domain_id>
options:
-d <domid> --domain=<domid> numerical domain_id of guest. This option is required.
-f <file> --pagefile=<file> pagefile to use. This option is required.
-m <max_memkb> --max_memkb=<max_memkb> maximum amount of memory to handle.
-r <num> --mru_size=<num> number of paged-in pages to keep in memory.
-d --debug enable debug output.
-h --help this output.

We were immediately putting the p2m entry translation for grant
copy operations. This allowed for an unnecessary race by which the
page could have been swapped out between the p2m lookup and the actual
use. Hold on to the p2m entries until the grant operation finishes.
Also fixes a small bug: for the source page of the copy, get_page
was assuming the page was owned by the source domain. It may be a
shared page, since we don't perform an unsharing p2m lookup.

Instead of risking deadlock by holding onto the gfn's acquired during
a guest page table walk, acquire an extra reference within the get_gfn/
put_gfn critical section, and drop the extra reference when done with
the map. This ensures liveness of the map, i.e. the underlying page
won't be paged out.

XENPF_get_cpuinfo should init the flags output field rather than only
modify it.
XENPF_cpu_online must check for the input CPU number to be in range.
XENPF_cpu_offline must also do that, and should also reject attempts to
offline CPU 0 (this fails in cpu_down() too, but preventing this here
appears more correct given that the code here calls
continue_hypercall_on_cpu(0, ...), which would be flawed if cpu_down()
would ever allow bringing down CPU 0 (and a distinct error code is
easier to deal with when debugging issues).

The Intel GPU uses a two pages NVS region called OpRegion.
In order to get full support for the driver in the guest
we need to map this region.
This patch reserves 2 pages on the top of the memory in the
reserved area and mark this region as NVS in the e820. Then
we write the address to the config space (offset 0xfc) so the
device model can map the OpRegion at this address in the guest.

The path p2m-lookup -> p2m-pt->get_entry -> 1GB PoD superpage ->
pod_demand_populate ends in the pod code performing a p2m_set_entry with
no locks held (in order to split the 1GB superpage into 512 2MB ones)
Further, it calls p2m_unlock after that, which will break the spinlock.

docs/misc/blkif-drivers-explained.txt:
- Talks about Xen 2.0 beta, talks about the old pre-xenstored IPC mechanism.
docs/misc/cpuid-config-for-guest.txt:
- Doesn't really say anything, in particular doesn't actually describe how to
configure CPUID.
docs/misc/hg-cheatsheet.txt:
- Not out of date per-se wrt mercural but talk about Xen 2.0 and gives URLs
under www.cl.cam.ac.uk. Talks a lot about bitkeeper. Given that mercurial is
hardly unusual anymore I think there must be better guides out there so this
one is not worth resurecting.
docs/misc/network_setup.txt:
- This is more comprehensively documented on the wiki these days.

I could have sworn I did this years ago.
IIRC the need for our own copy was due to the use of io_set_eventfd which is
not present in version 0.3.106. However it is in 0.3.107 the first version of
which was uploaded to Debian in June 2008 (I can't find a better reference for
the release date).
The necessary version is available in Debian Lenny onwards and is in at least
RHEL 6, Fedora 13 and OpenSuSE 11.3. The necessary version appears to not be
available in RHEL 5 or SLES 11 which is why I haven't simply nuked the in tree
version.
This is based on tools-system-libaio.diff from the Debian packaging although I
have made it optional (but default on).
