Otherwise make can search the path relative to certain standard paths
such as /usr/include (e.g., the line '-include $(XEN_ROOT)/.config' in
Config.mk suffers from this).

Since the shared info layout is fixed, guests are required to use
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info prior to booting any vCPU beyond the
traditional limit of 32.
MAX_VIRT_CPUS, being an implemetation detail of the hypervisor, is no
longer being exposed in the public headers.
The tools changes are clearly incomplete (and done only so things
would
build again), and the current state of the tools (using scalar
variables all over the place to represent vCPU bitmaps) very likely
doesn't permit booting DomU-s with more than the traditional number of
vCPU-s. Testing of the extended functionality was done with Dom0 (96
vCPU-s, as well as 128 vCPU-s out of which the kernel elected - by way
of a simple kernel side patch - to use only some, resulting in a
sparse
bitmap).
ia64 changes only to make things build, and build-tested only (and the
tools part only as far as the build would go without encountering
unrelated problems in the blktap code).

For now hardcode /etc w/o a prefix as there are hardcoded
config paths in the code which would break otherwise.

By adding another ELF note, the kernel can now direct the hypervisor
(for Dom0) and in the future also the tools (for DomU-s) to place the
initial phys->mach translation table at other than an address
immediately above the kernel/initrd images. This eliminates the size
restriction imposed on this table by Linux (the kernel loads above the
-2Gb boundary, and hence the entire initial mapping cannot reach or
even exceed 2Gb).
There are a few items in this patch I'm not particularly happy with,
but couldn't think of a better solution:
- there is a hidden assumption that pages allocated for the domain are
put on the domain's page list sequentially
- the way backward compatibility is maintained is placing requirements
on the kernel side that make the code somewhat convoluted (because
it
needs to check where the map is actually placed in quite a few
places)
- code is there to use 1Gb mappings for the hypervisor created table,
but lacking a machine with 512G+ memory for immediate testing I
can't
verify this works; I know that 2Mb mappings work, and hence imply
that 1Gb ones would too (of course, if the kernel replaces the table
- like Linux does -, it cannot use 2Mb/1Gb mappings or even try to
re-use the page table entries, but I don't consider this a problem)

that our headers are not built with __GNUC__ and __STRICT_ANSI__.
__extension__ had some weird (and buggy) behaviours when nested which
make it a risky proposition for general usage in our header
files. Better to disallow -ansi, -std=c99, and similar gcc options
when building against Xen headers.
