This patch adds the option "superpages" to the domain configuration
file. If it is set, the domain is populated using 2M pages.
This code does not support fallback to small pages. If the domain can
not be created with 2M pages, the create will fail.
The patch also includes support for saving and restoring domains with
the superpage flag set. However, if a domain has freed small pages
within its physical page array and then extended the array, the
restore will fill in those freed pages. It will then attempt to
allocate more than its memory limit and will fail. This is
significant because apparently Linux does this during boot, thus a
freshly booted Linux image can not be saved and restored successfully.

If you use -MMD -MF then the correct .o filename is written to the
.*.d file as the compiler driver arranges everything. This was done
in 19010:275abe1c5d24 for the hypervisor.
In this patch we do the same elsewhere in the xen-unstable tree,
particularly tools/. Specifically:
* Change tools/Rules.mk to add -MMD -MF ... to CFLAGS and set DEPS.
* Remove -Wp,-MD... from every other Makefile
* Remove setting of DEPS from every other Makefile
* Ensure that every Makefile says -include $(DEPS)
* Ensure that every Makefile's clean target removes $(DEPS)
Some Makefiles were already halfway there, but often for a different
variable name eg PROG_DEP. The variable name is now standardised in
Rules.mk as DEPS.
I have done a test build with this change, on Debian etch.

I've noticed that the suspend event channel becomes pending as soon as
it is bound. I'm not sure why or whether this is intentional, but it
means that the suspend function will return before the domain has
completed suspending unless the first notification is cleared. Without
this patch, xc_domain_save may find that the guest has not suspended
and sleep in 10ms chunks until it does. Typically this is several
milliseconds of wasted time.

If the guest provides a suspend event channel through xenstore,
xc_save will use it in preference to the old xenstore-based method.
Xend is still informed when the domain has suspended so that it can
perform device migration in parallel with last-round migration.

Use the same xenstore area for log-dirty commands as for save/continue,
and avoid a race condition by acking the save command after the save.

It's always an error to try to use sections on an executable; the
segments in the phdr are definitive.
Unfortunately we cannot drop SHT_NOTE support completely due to a
binutils bug which causes kernels to have the offset field of the
PT_NOTE phdr set to zero:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=594
This bug is present in binutils 2.17 although some distros have
backported the fix.
Therefore we simply prefer a PT_NOTE segment if we find one otherwise
we still use the SHT_NOTE section (and then the old __xen_guest
section).
Based on a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
Also added XEN_ELFNOTE_HV_START_LOW to readnotes.

not for HVM. This fixes an over-allocation by 256MB when restoring
