Add the ability to define VBD QoS policy in the xend layer.
Consider the following vbd entry:
vbd = [
'phy:/dev/server/virtualmachine1-disk,xvda1,w,credit=3D5000/s@50ms',
]
This means that a VM may perform 5000 I/O operations per second, with
credit being replenished every 50 milliseconds.
The 'credit' xenstore value is by the blkback driver to ratelimit I/O
operations for the specific device.

Also simplify the HVM builder interface by doing more work in
the python wrapper, and fix mapping of shared_info page after the
change to map foreign pages by GMFN rather than MFN.

and extra code in hvm_vcpu_initialise(). Remove 'apic' config
option -- HVM CPUs will always have an APIC (which should be
set up in virtual wire mode for backward compatibility, just as
in a real system).
