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',
but current it does not, it just gives a full list of xl

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.

Remove all the magic surrounding the special Xen devices in Linux
specific code whereby we attempt to figure out what the correct
major:minor number is and check the the existing device has these
numbers etc. In 2010 we really should be able to trust that the
platform has created the devices correctly or provide correct
configuration settings such that they are without resorting to tearing
down the platform configured state and rebuilding it.
tools/hotplug/Linux/xen-backend.rules already contains the necessary
udev rules to create /dev/xen/evtchn and friends in the correct place.

This patch makes xc_linux properly deal with:
1. discovering and creating device nodes if necessary
2. the new form of xen/<dev> device names soon to be used by the
kernel
This changes the logic slightly:
- If a device node already exists with the proper name, then it uses
it as-is, assuming it has already been correctly created.
- If the path doesn't exist, or it exists but isn't a device node,
and
it has successfully found the major/minor for the device, then
(re)create the device node.
Since this logic is identical for gntdev and evtchn, make a common
function to handle both.
