implements the basic functions to nominate GFNs for sharing, and to break
sharing (either by making page 'private' or creating private copy),
mem_sharing_nominate_page() and mem_sharing_unshare_page() respectively. Note
pages cannot be shared yet, because there is no efficient way to find all GFNs
mapping to the two MFNs scheduled for sharing.

This tool will page out the specified number of pages from the specified
domain. When a paged out page is accessed, Xen will issue a request and
notify the tool over an event channel. The tool will process ther request,
page the page in, and notify Xen.
The current (default) policy tracks the 1024 most recently paged in pages
and will not choose to evict any of those. This is done with the assumption
that if a page is accessed, it is likely to be accessed again soon.

libxc accepts the new return code from privcmd mmap, which indicates a page
being mapped is actually paged out. Spin until the page is paged in and return
as normal to the caller. This allows memory paging to work transparently with
existing tools.
Since libxc runs in user-space, as does the pager, both processes will be
scheduled and run. This enables the page to be paged in without needing to
spin in kernel mode (which would cause a dead-lock).

F12 introduces a tool to automatically report bugs when there are core
dumps. Since xen-detect relies on fork+waitpid in order to trap a
SIGILL from a child, every time someone runs xen-detect on a bare
metal kernel a bug is reported into Red Hat's Bugzilla. :-)
However, even without this contingent need, leaving core dumps around
is not nice. So this patch just traps SIGILL using
signal/sentjmp/longjmp, without the need to fork.

the "guest to a single NUMA node" constrain algorithm does not work
well when we do ballooning. Ballooning and NUMA don't play together
anyway, as Dom0 and thus ballooning is not NUMA aware, I am working on
this but it will not be ready for the Xen 4.0 release window. The
usual ballooning situation will result in an empty candidate list, as
no node has enough free memory to host the guest. In this case the
code will simply pick the first node: again and again, because all
nodes without enough memory will be ultimately penalized with the same
maxint value (regardless of the actual load). The attached patch will
change this to use a relative penalty in case of not-enough memory, so
that low-load low-memory nodes will be used at one point. A half
loaded node has shown to be a good value, as an unbalanced system is
much worse than non-local memory access for guests. Regardless of
that you should restrict the Dom0 on a NUMA system to a reasonable
memory size, so that ballooning is not necessary most of the time. In
this case the guest's memory will be NUMA local.

"xm usb-hc-create" accepts up to 16 ports, but, current usbfront
can work with up to 15 ports. This may be bug and I'm preparing

Contemplate a memory space slack for PV domains,
since they do ballooning (or flipping network rx)
and need some extra room in their pfn space.
Note that this does not allocate any extra memory
to the domain, it simply extends the physmap with
some extra room for "bounce bufffering back" pfn's
that are yielded to dom0.
The default slack is set at 8MB.
