This adds compile-time logic to disable certain frontends in mini-os:
- pcifront is disabled by default, enabled for ioemu
- blkfront, netfront, fbfront, kbdfront, consfront are enabled by default
- xenbus is required for any frontend, and is enabled by default
If all frontends and xenbus are disabled, mini-os will run without
needing to communicate with xenstore, making it suitable to run the
xenstore daemon. The console frontend is not required for the initial
console, only consoles opened via openpt or ptmx.

The latter is GPL which makes the whole of mini-os GPL rather than BSD
as intended. In tree users are all GPL or GPL-compatible but we should
fix this so that mini-os is BSD. Do so by using the same BSD
sys/queue.h as we use in libxl.
Tested with the builtin mini-os test app and qemu stubdomain, both of which
appear to still function as expected.
Move tools/libxl/external and the associated sed script to
tools/include/xen-external to allow more sensible access from mini-os.
Also add s/NULL/0/ in the sed script due to NULL not always being
defined in stubdom code when mini-os/wait.h is included.
As well as the obvious ABI changes there are a few API updates
associated with the change:
- struct rw_semaphore.wait_list is unused
- remove_waiter needs to take the wait_queue_head
The latter requires a qemu update, so there is also a QEMU_TAG
update in this changeset.
I sprinkled some extra-emacs local variables around the files I edited
which didn't have them.
I think this should be backported to the stable branches since
external users of mini-os may have been mislead into thinking they
could safely link mini-os against GPL-incompatible code.

Add two "special" PV consoles to stubdoms that are going to be used
to send and receive the qemu-xen save files on save/restore.
Use the second PV console to send the qemu-xen save file and the third
PV console to receive the qemu-xen save file on restore.
Fix the console shutdown function free_consfront that is called when the
qemu save file is closed.
Stubdom save/restore is still broken with xend.

Its access controls are really not OK. In particular, it's not good for
libxl, which stores per-VM config blobs in a directory that is exported
to all VMs.
This will break stub-qemu save/restore, which is the only user of
fs-front that I'm aware of, but:
- It's currently broken anyway (fs-back isn't run by default and crashes
if it is run manually); and
- Stefano has a plan to plumb qemu save records through a dedicated
console channel instead.

Having minios close() call back into the libxc core close routines is
backwards and unexpected. On every other OS the libxc core close
routine calls close().
Export minios specific functions from the minios libxc code to
implement fd closing for each type of xc file handle and simply call
close() in the core close routine.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.

This patch adds support for mmap on /dev/mem in a stubdom; it is
secure because it only works for memory areas that have been
explicitly allowed by the toolstack (xc_domain_iomem_permission).
Incidentally this is all that is needed to make MSI-X passthrough work
with stubdoms.

Network support is still provided the same way: using the tap
interface, created in qemu using netfront.
The lwip stack is still available to avoid additional compilation
issues.
However the stubdom is not going to have its own vif anymore,
this means that the only vnc server supported is the one in dom0.
You can still enable the vnc server in a stubdom at compile time, if
you want so.
Probably the most important change caused by this patch to xen users
is that you don't have to specify two vif in the stubdom config file
anymore, but just one:
-vif = [ '', 'ip=10.0.1.1,mac=aa:00:00:12:23:34']
+vif = ['ip=10.0.1.1,mac=aa:00:00:12:23:34']

- Move PAGE_SIZE and STACK_SIZE into __PAGE_SIZE and __STACK_SIZE in
arch_limits.h so as to permit getting them from there without
pulling all the internal Mini-OS defines.
- Setup a xen-elf cross-compilation environment in stubdom/cross-root
- Add a POSIX layer on top of Mini-OS by linking against the newlib C
library and lwIP, and implementing the Unixish part in mini-os/lib/sys.c
- Cross-compile zlib and libpci too.
- Add an xs.h-compatible layer on top of Mini-OS' xenbus.
- Cross-compile libxc with an additional xc_minios.c and a few things
disabled.
- Cross-compile ioemu with an additional block-vbd, but without sound,
tpm and other details. A few hacks are needed:
- Align ide and scsi buffers at least on sector size to permit
direct transmission to the block backend. While we are at it, just
page-align it to possibly save a segment. Also, limit the scsi
buffer size because of limitations of the block paravirtualization
protocol.
- Allocate big tables dynamically rather that letting them go to
bss: when Mini-OS gets installed in memory, bss is not lazily
allocated, and doing so during Mini-OS is unnecessarily trick while
we can simply use malloc.
- Had to change the Mini-OS compilation somehow, so as to export
Mini-OS compilation flags to the Makefiles of libxc and ioemu.
