Some highlights:
* Correct some markup errors:
Around line 663:
'=item' outside of any '=over'
Around line 671:
You forgot a '=back' before '=head3'
* Add documentation for msitranslate, power_mgnt, acpi_s3, aspi_s4,
gfx_passthru, nomigrate, etc.
* Reorganize items in "unclassified" sections like cpuid,
gfx_passthru to where they belong
* Correct link L<> references so they can be resolved within the
document
* Remove placeholders for deprecated options device_model and vif2
* Remove placeholder for "sched" and "node", as these are options for
cpupool configuration. Perhaps cpupool configuration deserves
a section in this document.
* Rename "global" options to "general"
* Add section headers to group general VM options.

Add and option to xl.conf file to decide if hotplug scripts are
executed from the toolstack (xl) or from udev as it used to be in the
past.
This option is only introduced in this patch, but it has no effect
since the code to call hotplug scripts from libxl is introduced in a
latter patch.
This choice will be saved in "libxl/disable_udev", as specified in the
DISABLE_UDEV_PATH constant.

If a domain does not have a VCPU affinity, try to pin it automatically
to some PCPUs. This is done taking into account the NUMA characteristics
of the host. In fact, we look for a combination of host's NUMA nodes
with enough free memory and number of PCPUs for the new domain, and pin
it to the VCPUs of those nodes.
Deciding which placement is the best happens by means of some heuristics.
For instance, smaller candidates are better, both from a domain perspective
(less memory spreading among nodes) and from the entire system perspective
(smaller memory fragmentation). In case of candidates of equal sizes
(i.e., with the same number of nodes), the amount of free memory and
the number of domains' vCPUs already pinned to the candidates' nodes are
both considered. Very often, candidates with greater amount of memory
are the one we wants, as this is good for keeping memory fragmentation
under control. However, we do not want to overcommit some node too much,
just because it has a lot of memory, and that's why the number of vCPUs
must be accounted for.
This all happens internally to libxl, and no API for driving the
mechanism is provided for now. This matches what xend already does.

The important change here is to xlu_disk_parse to correctly set format == EMPTY
for CDROM devices which are empty. Test cases are added which check for
correctness here.
xend accepts ',hdc:cdrom,r'[0] as an empty CDROM drive however this is not
consistent with the xl syntax in docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt which
requires ',,hdc:cdrom,r' (the additional positional paramter is the format).
I'm not sure if/how this can be fixed. Note that xend does not accept
',,hdc:cdrom,r'
There are several incidental cleanups included the the cdrom-{insert,eject}
commands:
- add a dry-run mode
- use the non-deprecated disk specification syntax
- check for and report errors from libxl_cdrom_insert

All of the other "list" verbs are of the form "$noun-list". For
example: "pci-list", "vcpu-list", "network-list", "block-list", etc.
Additionally, many people have well trained muscle memory from years
of typing "xm li". "xl li" was ambiguous due to "xl list-vm", thus
resulting in "command not implemented".
Finally, this command was missing from the xl man page.

xm supports the following syntax (in the config file) for
specific VCPU to PCPU mapping:
cpus = "0-3,5,^1" # all vcpus run on cpus 0,2,3,5
cpus = ["2", "3"] # VCPU0 runs on CPU2, VCPU1 runs on CPU3
Allow for the same in xl.
This fixes what happened in changeset 54000bca7a6a, which
introduced suppot for the `cpus=` option within xl, but used
both the list (cpus=[2, 3]) and the string (cpus="2,3") syntax
for achieving the same behaviour (pin all guest's vcpus to the
pcpus in the list/string).

Dan Magenheimer explains in <4c2f7fca-dda2-4598-aaab-3a6a3fe532cd@default>:
I think the tmem_destroy functionality pre-dates the
existence of tmem "freeable" memory* and was a way for
a toolset to force the hypervisor to free up the hypervisor
memory used by some or all ephemeral tmem pools. Once the
tmem allocation/free process was directly linked into
alloc_heap_pages() in the hypervisor (see call to
tmem_relinquish_pages()), this forcing function was
no longer needed.
So, bottom line, I *think* it can be ripped out, or at least
for now removed from the definition of the stable xl API/UI.
The libxl.c routine libxl_tmem_destroy() could also be
removed if you like, but I guess I'd prefer to leave the
lower level droppings in xc.c and in the hypervisor in case
I am misremembering.
Accordingly remove this interface from libxl and xl but don't touch libxc or
the hypervisor.
This is the only libxl_tmem_* function which might potentially have required
conversion to be asynchronous and which therefore might have been a potential
API stability concern.

By default pciback only allows PV guests to write "known safe" values into
PCI config space. But many devices require writes to other areas of config
space in order to operate properly. One way to do that is with the "quirks"
interface, which specifies areas known safe to a particular device; the
other way is to mark a device as "permissive", which tells pciback to allow
all config space writes for that domain and device.
This adds a "permissive" flag to the libxl_pci struct and teaches libxl how
to write the appropriate value into sysfs to enable the permissive feature for
devices being passed through. It also adds the permissive config options either
on a per-device basis, or as a global option in the xl command-line.
Because of the potential stability and security implications of enabling
permissive, the flag is left off by default.

Move the sxp producing code off into a separate file. It is supported
for legacy reasons and needn't be updated other than the improve
compatibility with xm.
libxl_domain_config is not currently generated by the IDL (adding the
necessary support for Array types is on my to do list) so hand code
the json generation function for now.
Since this rather directly exposes a libxl data structure it's not
clear what sort of forward compatibility guarantees we can
make. However it seems like it should be as stable as libxl's own API
(which we are looking to stabilise)
