The VM generation ID support in libxc/libxl was based on a draft
specification which subsequently changed considerably. Remove much of
the code in anticipation of introducing something simpler that
conforms to the current specification from Microsoft.
Switch to using a HVM param (HVM_PARAM_VM_GENERATION_ID_ADDR) instead
of the hvmloader/generation-id-address XenStore key. This simplifies
save/restore since it only needs to transfer the value of this param.
There are no changes to the migration stream format or the public
libxl API.

[ ijc -- updated xc_nomigrate.c for interface change ]
Commit 00a4b65f85 Sep 7 2010
"libxc: provide notification of final checkpoint to restore end"
broke migration from any version of Xen using tools from prior to that commit
Older tools have no idea about an XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT, causing newer
tools xc_domain_restore() to start reading the qemu save record, as
ctx->last_checkpoint is 0.
The failure looks like:
xc: error: Max batch size exceeded (1970103633). Giving up.
where 1970103633 = 0x756d6551 = *(uint32_t*)"Qemu"
With this fix in place, the behaviour for normal migrations is reverted to how
it was before the regression; the migration is considered non-checkpointed
right from the start. A XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT chunk seen in the
migration stream is a nop. For checkpointed migrations the behaviour is
unchanged.

The emacs variable to set the C style from a local variable block is

Introduce an empty implementation of the arch specific ARM functions in
xc_dom_arm.c.
Provide empty implementations of xc_domain_save and xc_domain_restore
when CONFIG_MIGRATE is not set.
Move xc_hvm_build.c to xc_hvm_build_x86.c because the implementation is
x86 specific, introduce xc_hvm_build_arm.c with empty stubs.
