Although we already have 'gfx_passthru' in b_info, this doesn't suffice
after we want to handle IGD specifically. Now we define a new field of
type, gfx_passthru_kind, to indicate we're trying to pass IGD. Actually
this means we can benefit this to support other specific devices just
by extending gfx_passthru_kind. And then we can cooperate with
gfx_passthru to address IGD cases as follows:
gfx_passthru = 0 => sets build_info.u.gfx_passthru to false
gfx_passthru = 1 => sets build_info.u.gfx_passthru to true and
build_info.u.gfx_passthru_kind to DEFAULT
gfx_passthru = "igd" => sets build_info.u.gfx_passthru to true
and build_info.u.gfx_passthru_kind to IGD
Here if gfx_passthru_kind = DEFAULT, we will call
libxl__is_igd_vga_passthru() to check if we're hitting that table to need
to pass that option to qemu. But if gfx_passthru_kind = "igd" we always
force to pass that.
And "-gfx_passthru" is just introduced to work for qemu-xen-traditional
so we should get this away from libxl__build_device_model_args_new() in
the case of qemu upstream.

When using Linux >= 3.19 (commit 47591df) as dom0 on some Intel Ironlake
devices, It is possible to encounter graphics issues that make screen
unreadable or crash the system. It was reported in freedesktop bugzilla:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90037
As we still cannot find a proper fix for this problem, this patch adds
iommu=igfx option to control whether Intel graphics IOMMU is enabled.
Running Xen with iommu=no-igfx is similar to running Linux with
intel_iommu=igfx_off, which disables IOMMU for Intel GPU. This can be
used by users to manually workaround the problem before a fix is
available for i915 driver.

This patch introduces user configurable parameters to specify RDM
resource and according policies,
Global RDM parameter:
rdm = "strategy=host,policy=strict/relaxed"
Per-device RDM parameter:
pci = [ 'sbdf, rdm_policy=strict/relaxed' ]
Global RDM parameter, "strategy", allows user to specify reserved regions
explicitly, Currently, using 'host' to include all reserved regions reported
on this platform which is good to handle hotplug scenario. In the future
this parameter may be further extended to allow specifying random regions,
e.g. even those belonging to another platform as a preparation for live
migration with passthrough devices. By default this isn't set so we don't
check all rdms. Instead, we just check rdm specific to a given device if
you're assigning this kind of device. Note this option is not recommended
unless you can make sure any conflict does exist.
'strict/relaxed' policy decides how to handle conflict when reserving RDM
regions in pfn space. If conflict exists, 'strict' means an immediate error
so VM can't keep running, while 'relaxed' allows moving forward with a
warning message thrown out.
Default per-device RDM policy is same as default global RDM policy as being
'relaxed'. And the per-device policy would override the global policy like
others.

Usage:
hdtype=ide|ahci (default=ide)
If hdtype=ahci adds ich9 disk controller in ahci mode and uses it with
upstream qemu to emulate disks instead of ide.
It doesn't support cdroms which still using ide (cdroms will use
"-device ide-cd" as new qemu parameter)
Ahci requires new qemu parameter but for now other emulated disks cases
remains with old ones (I did it in other patch, not needed by this one)
I did it as libxl parameter disabled by default to avoid possible
problems:
- with save/restore/migration (restoring with ahci a domU that was with
ide instead)
- windows < 8 without pv drivers (a registry key change is needed for
AHCI<->IDE change FWIK to avoid possible blue screen)
- windows XP or older that many not support ahci by default.
Setting AHCI with libxl parameter and default to disabled seems the best
solution.
AHCI increase hvm domUs boot performance. On linux hvm domU I saw up to
only 20% of the previous total boot time, whereas boot time decrease a
lot on W7 domUs for most of boots I have done. Small difference in boot
time compared to ide mode on W8 and newer (probably other xen
improvements or fixes are needed not ahci related)

In combination with the per-active entry locks, the grant table lock
can be made a read-write lock since the majority of cases only the
read lock is required. The grant table read lock protects against
changes to the table version or size (which are done with the write
lock held).
The write lock is also required when two active entries must be
acquired.
The double lock is still required when updating IOMMU page tables.
With the lock contention being only on the maptrack lock (unless IOMMU
updates are required), performance and scalability is improved.
