An upcoming change may increase the size of mem_event_domain. The result
is a build failure because struct domain gets larger than a page.

Add annotations for a couple of the hypercalls:
HYPERVISOR_set_trap_table
HYPERVISOR_mmu_update
We do this by
* annotating the list of #defines for hypercall numbers
* annotating the list of error values
* providing a function prototype for the systematically-named functions
The header generator does the rest.
This exercise revealed a couple of infelicities:
* In the actual source code, do_mmu_update is defined to return an int
and do_set_trap_table a long. However both functions return either
-Efoo (on error) or 0 for success.
* The error numbers are defined only in the private header file
xen/include/xen/errno.h and then only with names which will
typically clash with other projects. It would be nice to include a
public version of this header which defines XEN_E*. But for now
we run xen-headers on errno.h too.

version on Windows (post-Vista) locking up on a domain restore due to
EOIs (done via a viridian MSR write) being silently dropped. This

adds code in the viridian kernel module to catch attempted use of

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.
