As discussed in the thread starting at
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-05/msg01383.html,
don't save Xen heap pages in order to avoid overallocation when the
domain gets restored, as those pages would get (temporarily) backed
with normal RAM pages by the restore code.
This requires making DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo{2,3} usable for HVM
guests, meaning that the input to these must be treated as GMFNs.

Previously, the default "network-script",
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge, would attempt to do its horrid work
even if you had already set everything up in /etc/network/interfaces.
Setting up your bridge in /etc/network/interfaces is:
* easy
* required for libxl since libxl never does it for you
* not a fragile piece of lunacy
* properly documented
* the way everyone would expect it to work
In this small patch we make it so that the default config for xend
doesn't mess about on startup if you already have a bridge, and
doesn't mess about on shutdown unless your first-named bridge (eth0 or
xenbr0, normally) doesn't also have a physical interface named
p<whatever> (peth0 or pxenbr0) enslaved to it. The latter test is not
ideal but will hopefully do from now until the time xend finally dies.
We also fix the "documentation" - ie, the comments in the default
xend-config.sxp - to correspond to reality.

This disables superpage restore support, but should gain us acceptable
performance when restoring a domain using a pv_ops dom0 kernel. This
is because single-page allocations will be batched rather than issued
singly.

Tapdisk control in userspace, a replacement for the original blktap2
control stack, which had to pass a kernel space interface based on
sysfs nodes.
All tapdisk processes listen for commands on a unix stream socket. The
control library supports scanning the socket namespace for running
tapdisks, VBD minors allocated, associated images and state inquiry.
Control operations include allocating/releasing devices, spawning
tapdisks, opening/closing images, attaching disk images to
devices. disk pause/resume operations and runtime switching of disk
images.

Stop coercing drivers/disktype code into the tool stack. Make both
blktapctrl and tap-ctl transfer type/path pairs as "<type>:<path>"
strings. Remove the message.disktype integer altogether.

Now the init script is called xencommons and, as the name suggests, it
is a common script between xl and xend because it is used to start
xenconsoled, xenstored and xenbackendd and the initialization of these
three daemons has been removed from xend. The global
xen_toolstack=xl/xend variable has been removed. Regarding the
network setup, I made the vif scripts follow the same pattern as the
other scripts in xen-backend: a new script called vif-setup is
executed unconditionally. vif-setup is going to do the right thing
depending on the value of the environmental variable "script" (same
technique used before), defaulting to vif-bridge. In the common
scenario the toolstack doesn't need to set the variable "script"
because vif-bridge is going to be called anyway. There is no global
network script to setup the network bridges with xl, so if you are
using xl without xend, you need to manually configure the bridges
using your distro network setup, or, if you are lazy, you can just add
something like:
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start
to your rc.local.

xen-hptool cannot be built on ia64, because xen-hptool depends on
xc_offline_page.c and xc_offline_page.c does not support ia64.
This patch disables it on ia64.

xl help 'command' should give the help of the 'command',

1. Bug fix for error: "Error: Device /dev/xvdp (51952, tap2) is
already connected." (xenstore does not clean after DomU stoped)
2. Bug fix for error: "File 'vhd:/path/.../disk.img' doesn't exist."
(not correct parsing)
3. Bug fix for error: "Error: Device 51952 not connected" (in config
file for DomU we should be use prefix "tap2:tapdisk:xxx" for devices
from (aio, ram, qcow, vhd, remus) or "tap:tapdisk:xxx" for devices
from (sync, vmdk, qcow2, ioemu))
4. Bug fix for error: "Disk is not accessible" (if use 'tap2'-device
type, then '/dev/xpvd' may not be accessible immediately after its
creation)

this patch adds an init script for xl, so that it can be used without
xend installed on the system. In cases in which both toolstacks are
present, only one init script will be run, dependening on the value of
xen_toolstack in /etc/sysconfig/xen_toolstack. Please note that a
correct value of xen_toolstack (either xl or xend), is required now.
The network script and the vif script to be used with xl can be
specified in /etc/sysconfig/xenlightdaemons. Xl sets the vif script
to xl-vif-script by default, that reads /etc/sysconfig/xenlightdaemons
and calls the vif script set there. A port to a debian system should
be straightforward, just replacing /etc/sysconfig with /etc/default
everywhere.
