libxengnttab will provide a stable API and ABI for accessing the
grant table devices.
The functions are moved into the xengnt{tab,shr} namespace to make a
clean break from libxc and avoid ambiguity regarding which interfaces
are stable.
All in-tree users are updated to use the new names.
Upon request (via #define XC_WANT_COMPAT_GNTTAB_API) libxenctrl will
provide a compat API for the old names. This is used by qemu-xen for
the time being. qemu-xen-traditional is updated in lockstep.
This leaves a few grant table related functions which go via privcmd
(GNTTABOP) rather than ioctls on the /dev/xen/gnt* devices in
libxenctrl. Specifically:
- xc_gnttab_get_version
- xc_gnttab_map_table_v1
- xc_gnttab_map_table_v2
- xc_gnttab_op
These functions do not appear to be needed by qemu-dm, qemu-pv
(provision of device model to HVM guests and PV backends respectively)
or by libvchan suggesting they are not needed by non-toolstack uses of
event channels.
The new library uses a version script to ensure that only expected
symbols are exported and to version them such that ABI guarantees can
be kept in the future.
After this change libxenvchan no longer needs to link against
libxenctrl. It still needs xenctrl.h in one file for xen_mb and
friends.

With commit 8c45adec18 ("libxc: create unmapped initrd in domain
builder if supported") location of ramdisk may not be available to
HVMlite guests by the time alloc_magic_pages_hvm() is invoked if the
guest supports unmapped initrd.
So let's move ramdisk info initialization (along with a few other
operations that are not directly related to allocating magic/special
pages) from alloc_magic_pages_hvm() to bootlate_hvm().
Since we now split allocation and mapping of the start_info segment
let's stash it, along with cmdline length, in xc_dom_image so that we
can check whether we are mapping correctly-sized range.
We can also stop using xc_dom_image.start_info_pfn and leave it for
PV(H) guests only.

There were some problems with the original memory allocation functions:
1. xc_dom_alloc_segment and xc_dom_alloc_pad ended up calling
xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages while xc_dom_alloc_page open-coded everything.
2. xc_dom_alloc_pad didn't call dom->allocate.
Refactor the code so that:
1. xc_dom_alloc_{segment,pad,page} end up calling
xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages.
2. xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages calls dom->allocate.
This way we avoid scattering dom->allocate over multiple locations and
open-coding.
Also change the return type of xc_dom_alloc_page to xen_pfn_t and return
an invalid pfn when xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages fails.

Guest memory allocation in the domain builder of libxc is done via
virtual addresses only. In order to be able to support preallocated
areas not virtually mapped reorganize the memory allocator to keep
track of allocated pages globally and in allocated segments.
This requires an interface change of the allocate callback of the
domain builder which currently is using the last mapped virtual
address as a parameter. This is no problem as the only user of this
callback is stubdom/grub/kexec.c using this virtual address to
calculate the last used pfn.
