While trying to run a 32-bit PV domU on a 64-bit hypervisor, I
triggered an assert in the hypervisor. The assert dealt with the
maximum number of grants that a domU can have. I made the hypervisor
a bit more graceful by returning an error rather than asserting.

100HZ PIT timer interrupt set a 10ms upper limit for C state
residency, which makes Xen not power friendly. This patch disable PIT
timer interrupt in the conditions:
- CPU has APIC support, and
- PIT is not used as platform time source

Allows TLB entries to be retained across VM entry and VM exit, and Xen
can now identify distinct address spaces through a new
virtual-processor ID (VPID) field of the VMCS.

This is done separately from moving the other utilities into the
mutlicall since ls is slightly different and was already separate.

This removes threading from libxenstore.a (but not libxenstore.so)
since pthreads is incompatible with static linking and none of the
command line clients require threads anyway.
It is now possible to build these utilities statically with a uclibc
toolchain which is useful for small userspace utility domains.

We use the EPT page table as P2M (guest physical to machine
mapping), removing the linear page table when EPT is used for the
domain (see the new file p2m-ept.c). We did this by adding three
operations in the p2m_domain. If VT-d is enabled, the EPT page table
will be used as the VT-d page table as well (i.e. shared).

Currently, tap:ioemu can only be used for domains which have a device
model running. This isn't the case for all domains. The most important
of the missing domains is Dom0 which needs acces e.g. to extract the
kernel from the domain's image.
tapdisk-ioemu is a tool compiled from ioemu source plus a small
wrapper which handles tap:ioemu access for domains without device
model (currently Dom0). You must start tapdisk-ioemu manually before
trying to attach a tap:ioemu disk to Dom0 at the moment. A patch to
blktapctrl will follow to automatically start tapdisk-ioemu when
needed.
