Unicode strings, for which the escaping is correct.
This fixes a bug seen when the dmesg of a machine contains high bit characters,
but I'm sure there are other ways in which it might be triggered.

As reported in the thread:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-03/msg00721.html,
pygrub does not open ext2 file systems in partitioned images or sub
partitions on e.g. CentOS/RHEL 4, because e2fsprogs ext2fs_open does not
support an offset into the file to be opened.
With this patch, the error is correctly reported instead of a generic
"unable to open file" (and leaving the user searching in the dark).

Largely this involves making the logic symmetrical: for example,
not only should netfront be able to tell netback that a packet has
an empty protocol checksum field, but the reverse must also be true.
Another change is that the drivers only advertise IP checksum
offload functionality. There is currently no information
propagated across the device channel about the offset of the
protocol-specific checksum field. Therefore it is not safe to
defer checksum calculation for protocols the remote end may not
understand -- it will end up dropping having to drop the packet.
Yet another change is to allow netback to disable tx checksum
offload, just as we already could for netfront. Currently there is
no support for disabling rx checksum offload -- that would seem
to require some way of propagating the checksum-offload advertisement
(or lack of it) across the device channel, as it really ought to be
the transmitter that acts on it.
Thanks to Ian Jackson for pointing out some of the problems with
our checksum-offload handling. Several of the changes here are
due to his comments.

In FC5, gcc has issues with the command lines used to build
hvmloader and vmxassist. Basically, the compiler doesn't
like the combination of -m64 and -m32. As these are 32 bit
apps, and intended to be, take a modified approach and simply
define XEN_TARGET_ARCH for 32 bits. This cleans up the
command line and builds the images correctly.

an emergency pool of pages below 4GB (i.e., in Xen's DMA pool)
which will ever be used to satisfy normal allocation requests.
This is particularly useful in an i386 PAE environment to ensure
that pages will always be available for allocation as
page-table base directories.
Usage, for example (to reserve 16MB):
lowmem_emergency_pool=16M
In a PAE environment, each reserved megabyte guarantees you should
be able to create up to 256 processes (counted across all guests).
16MB means you're good for 4096 processes.

file. If that is not specified, then xm will pass the XAUTHORITY
environment variable back to xend instead. This is not sufficient,
since it is possible that XAUTHORITY is not set at all. This doesn't
cause a problem for most X apps, because xlib will use the fall-back of
$HOME/.Xauthority. But the viewer is started from xend, which almost
certainly doesn't have a reasonable HOME variable.
We fix this by always passing some value for
XAUTHORITY. In order of preference, that value is:
1. Use the value from the config file, if specified.
2. Use the value from the XAUTHORITY env variable, if set.
3. Use $HOME/.Xauthority, if HOME is set.
4. Look up the user's home directory via getpwuid, and append
"/.Xauthority"

switch out of a transaction, in the few cases where it is inside one.
In order to behave properly, it is necessary for a driver to know its own
xenbus state (see changeset 9469:b3cb19d2b07f, for example). This
value is stored as xenbus_device.state and updated by xenbus_switch_state.
If xenbus_switch_state occurs within a transaction, then there is a possibility
that the transaction would be aborted, leaving the state field dangerously out
of sync with the value currently in the store.
This fixes recent problems seen whereby bringing multiple devices up at the
same time results in some devices not coming up (often all of the even-numbered
ones, because of the pattern of transaction conflict).
