Previously, subscribing to MSR write events was an all-or-none
approach, with special cases for introspection MSR-s. This patch
allows the vm_event consumer to specify exactly what MSR-s it is
interested in, and as a side-effect gets rid of the
vmx_introspection_force_enabled_msrs[] special case.
The patch also introduces arch_monitor_init_domain() and
arch_monitor_cleanup_domain(), to do monitor-specific work
(as opposed to the previous way of doing all the setup in
vm_event_init_domain() / vm_event_cleanup_domain()).
This replaces the previously posted "xen: Filter out MSR write
events" patch.

Previously, if vm_event emulation support was enabled, then REP
optimizations were disabled when emulating REP-compatible
instructions. This patch allows fine-tuning of this behaviour by
providing a dedicated libxc helper function.

The only remaining mentions of these addresses are in COPYING files which I
haven't touched.
Some of the changed files are imports from elsewhere, however
filtering them out is tricky, I think it is tolerable to have these
files be modified here and then perhaps reverted on the next sync,
since it's only 1-2 lines and obvious what is going on.

Added support for a new class of vm_events: VM_EVENT_REASON_REQUEST,
sent via HVMOP_request_vm_event. The guest can request that a
generic vm_event (containing only the vm_event-filled guest registers
as information) be sent to userspace by setting up the correct
registers and doing a VMCALL. For example, for a 32-bit guest, this
means: EAX = 34 (hvmop), EBX = 24 (HVMOP_guest_request_vm_event),
ECX = 0 (NULL required for the hypercall parameter, reserved).

As suggested by Andrew Cooper, this patch attempts to remove
some redundancy and allow for an easier time when adding vm_events
for new control registers in the future, by having a single
VM_EVENT_REASON_WRITE_CTRLREG vm_event type, meant to serve CR0,
CR3, CR4 and (newly introduced) XCR0. The actual control register
will be deduced by the new .index field in vm_event_write_ctrlreg
(renamed from vm_event_mov_to_cr).

Thus far mem_access and mem_sharing memops had been able to signal
to Xen to start pulling responses off the corresponding rings. In this patch
we retire these memops and add them to the option to the vm_event_op domctl.
The vm_event_op domctl suboptions are the same for each ring thus we
consolidate them into XEN_VM_EVENT_ENABLE/DISABLE/RESUME.
As part of this patch in libxc we also rename the mem_access_enable/disable
functions to monitor_enable/disable and move them into xc_monitor.c.

In preparation for allowing for introspecting ARM and PV domains the old
control interface via the hvm_op hypercall is retired. A new control mechanism
is introduced via the domctl hypercall: monitor_op.
This patch aims to establish a base API on which future applications can build
on.
