The impact on disk performance is typically making it from 71.5MBps
down to 70.5Mbps during the live migration. The impact on network
performance is actually even hard to measure.

This fetches GRUB1 sources, applies the {graphical, print function,
save default, and ext3_256byte} patches from debian, and applies a
patch to make it work on x86_64 and port it to Mini-OS. By using
libxc, PV-GRUB can then "kexec" the loaded kernel from inside the
domain itself, hence permitting to avoid the security-concerned
pygrub.

Add pv guest support for the cpuid configuration and checking. That
feature only works for cpuid request which are coming from the guest's
kernel, a process could still call the cpuid directly.
A new policy for pv guest has been created in libxc. dom0 cpuid
emulation is left hardcoded in Xen.

Domctl interface is extended to allow libxc retrieve device group
information from hypervisor. Vendor-specific iommu_ops is also
extended by adding a new operation "get_device_group_id()", which is
currently a null pointer but could be implemented later for vt-d.
Error will be raised from tools side when user trying to assign PCI
device with a sibling device being driven by dom0. User will keep
being prompted until he has hidden the entire device group (at least,
the sibling devices driven by dom0) in dom0 kernel
parameter. Hopefully this framework could be flexible enough to
support both amd iommu and vt-d.
The following 2 cases are not covered by this patch, but should be
easy to handle.
* Checking for hot-plug devices (maybe we can delay calling
ImageHandler.signalDeviceModel() until all checks are done?)
* Checking for splitted device group between different passthru
domains

This adds a new HVM op that enables tracking dirty bits of a range of
video RAM. The idea is to optimize just for the most common case
(only one guest mapping, with sometimes some temporary other
mappings), which permits to keep the overhead on shadow as low as
possible.

In the xc_translate_foreign_address function from libxc, there is a
check on the page directory entry to see if the page is 4K or 4M.
However, the check is looking at bit 3, when it should be looking at
bit 7. This patch fixes the problem.

CPUID's replies are now pre-calculated in libxc and given to the

There are two parts to this feature:
- We can overwrite cpuid's replies.
- We can check that a vm is compatible with a host's processor.

We use the EPT page table as P2M (guest physical to machine
mapping), removing the linear page table when EPT is used for the
domain (see the new file p2m-ept.c). We did this by adding three
operations in the p2m_domain. If VT-d is enabled, the EPT page table
will be used as the VT-d page table as well (i.e. shared).
