in one sub-call: XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_GET_POOLS.
These operations are used during the save process of migration.
Instead of doing 64 hypercalls lets do just one. We modify
the 'struct xen_tmem_client' structure (used in
XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_[GET|SET]_CLIENT_INFO) to have an extra field
'nr_pools'. Armed with that the code slurping up pages from the
hypervisor can allocate a big enough structure (struct tmem_pool_info)
to contain all the active pools. And then just iterate over each
one and save it in the stream.
We are also re-using one of the subcommands numbers for this,
as such the XEN_SYSCTL_INTERFACE_VERSION should be incremented
and that was done in the patch titled:
"tmem/libxc: Squash XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_[SET|SAVE].."
In the xc_tmem_[save|restore] we also added proper memory handling
of the 'buf' and 'pools'. Because of the loops and to make it as
easy as possible to review we add a goto label and for almost
all error conditions jump in it.
The include for inttypes is required for the PRId64 macro to
work (which is needed to compile this code under 32-bit).

That is what they are used for. Lets make it more clear.
Of all the various sub-commands, the only one that needed
semantic change is XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SAVE_BEGIN. That in the
past used 'arg1', and now we are moving it to use 'arg'.
Since that code is only used during migration which is tied
to the toolstack it is OK to change it.
We should increment the XEN_SYSCTL_INTERFACE_VERSION because
of this, and that was fortunatly done in the patch titled:
"tmem/libxc: Squash XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_[SET|SAVE].."
While at it, also fix xc_tmem_control_oid to properly handle
the 'buf' and bounce it as appropiate.

return values. For success they used to be 1 ([SAVE,RESTORE]_BEGIN),
0 if guest did not have any tmem (but only for SAVE_BEGIN), and
-1 for any type of failure.
And SAVE_END (which you would think would mirror SAVE_BEGIN)
had 0 for success and -1 if guest did not any tmem enabled for it.
This is confusing. Now the code will return 0 if the operation was
success. Various XEN_EXX values are returned if tmem is not enabled
or the operation could not performed.
The xc_tmem.c code only needs one place to check - where we use
SAVE_BEGIN. The place where RESTORE_BEGIN is used will have errno
with the proper error value and return will be -1, so will still
fail properly.

Specifically:
XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SET_[WEIGHT,COMPRESS] are now done via:
XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_SET_CLIENT_INFO
and XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SAVE_GET_[VERSION,MAXPOOLS,
CLIENT_WEIGHT, CLIENT_FLAGS] can now be retrieved via:
XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_GET_CLIENT_INFO
All this information is now in 'struct xen_tmem_client' and
that is what we pass around.
We also rev up the XEN_SYSCTL_INTERFACE_VERSION as we are
re-using the value number of the deleted ones (and henceforth
the information is retrieved differently).
On the toolstack, prior to this patch, the xc_tmem_control
would use the bounce buffer only when arg1 was set and the cmd
was to list. With the 'XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SET_[WEIGHT|COMPRESS]'
that made sense as the 'arg1' would have the value. However
for the other ones (say XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SAVE_GET_POOL_UUID)
the 'arg1' would be the length of the 'buf'. If this
confusing don't despair, patch patch titled:
tmem/xc_tmem_control: Rename 'arg1' to 'len' and 'arg2' to arg.
takes care of that.
The acute reader of the toolstack code will discover that
we only used the bounce buffer for LIST, not for any other
subcommands that used 'buf'!?! Which means that the contents
of 'buf' would never be copied back to the calleer 'buf'!
The author is not sure how this could possibly work, perhaps Xen 4.1
(when this was introduced) was more relaxed about the bounce buffer
being enabled. Anyhow this fixes xc_tmem_control to do it for
any subcommand that has 'arg1'.
Lastly some of the checks in xc_tmem_[restore|save] are removed
as they can't ever be reached (not even sure how they could
have been reached in the original submission). One of them
is the check for the weight against -1 when in fact the
hypervisor would never have provided that value.
Now the checks are simple - as the hypercall always returns
->version and ->maxpools (which is mirroring how it was done
prior to this patch). But if one wants to check the if a guest
has any tmem activity then the patch titled
"tmem: Batch and squash XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SAVE_GET_POOL_
[FLAGS,NPAGES,UUID] in one sub-call: XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_GET_POOLS."
adds an ->nr_pools to check for that.
Also we add the check for ->version and ->maxpools and remove
the TODO.

The existing logic is broken for heterogeneous migration. By always
advertising the host maximum xstate, a migration to a less capable host always
fails as Xen cannot accomodate the xcr0_accum in the migration stream.
By calculating xstate from the feature information (which a multi-host
toolstack will have levelled appropriately), the guest will have the current
hosts maximum xstate advertised, allowing for correct migration to less
capable hosts.
In addition, some further improvements and corrections:
