There are use cases (for example using the PV driver) in Dom0less
setup that require Dom0less DomUs start immediately with Dom0, but
initialize XenStore later after Dom0's successful boot and call to
the init-dom0less application.
An error message can seen from the init-dom0less application on
1:1 direct-mapped domains:
```
Allocating magic pages
memory.c:238:d0v0 mfn 0x39000 doesn't belong to d1
Error on alloc magic pages
```
The "magic page" is a terminology used in the toolstack as reserved
pages for the VM to have access to virtual platform capabilities.
Currently the magic pages for Dom0less DomUs are populated by the
init-dom0less app through populate_physmap(), and populate_physmap()
automatically assumes gfn == mfn for 1:1 direct mapped domains. This
cannot be true for the magic pages that are allocated later from the
init-dom0less application executed in Dom0. For domain using statically
allocated memory but not 1:1 direct-mapped, similar error "failed to
retrieve a reserved page" can be seen as the reserved memory list is
empty at that time.
Since for init-dom0less, the magic page region is only for XenStore.
To solve above issue, this commit allocates the XenStore page for
Dom0less DomUs at the domain construction time. The PFN will be
noted and communicated to the init-dom0less application executed
from Dom0. To keep the XenStore late init protocol, set the connection
status to XENSTORE_RECONNECT.
Currently the GUEST_MAGIC_BASE in the init-dom0less application is
hardcoded, which will lead to failures for 1:1 direct-mapped Dom0less
DomUs.
Since the guest magic region allocation from init-dom0less is for
XenStore, and the XenStore page is now allocated from the hypervisor,
instead of hardcoding the guest magic pages region, use
xc_hvm_param_get() to get the XenStore page PFN. Rename alloc_xs_page()
to get_xs_page() to reflect the changes.
With this change, some existing code is not needed anymore, including:
(1) The definition of the XenStore page offset.
(2) Call to xc_domain_setmaxmem() and xc_clear_domain_page() as we
don't need to set the max mem and clear the page anymore.
(3) Foreign mapping of the XenStore page, setting of XenStore interface
status and HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN from init-dom0less, as they are set
by the hypervisor.
Take the opportunity to do some coding style improvements when possible.

To unify certain common sanity checks, checks are done very early in

Unfortunately, when TRC_HVM_EMUL was introduced, it broke some of the
assumptions about how the top-level types worked. Namely, traces of
this type will show up outside of HVM contexts: in idle domains and in
PV domains.
Make an explicit exception for TRC_HVM_EMUL types in a number of places:
- Pass the record info pointer to toplevel_assert_check, so that it
can exclude TRC_HVM_EMUL records from idle and vcpu data_mode
checks
- Don't attempt to set the vcpu data_type in hvm_process for

A long-standing usability sub-optimality with xenalyze is the
necessity to specify `--svm-mode` when analyzing AMD processors. This
fundamentally comes about because the same trace event ID is used for
both VMX and SVM, but the contents of the trace must be interpreted
differently.
Instead, allocate separate trace events for VMX and SVM vmexits in
Xen; this will allow all readers to properly interpret the meaning of
the vmexit reason.
In xenalyze, first remove the redundant call to init_hvm_data();
there's no way to get to hvm_vmexit_process() without it being already
initialized by the set_vcpu_type call in hvm_process().
Replace this with set_hvm_exit_reson_data(), and move setting of
hvm->exit_reason_* into that function.
Modify hvm_process and hvm_vmexit_process to handle all four potential
values appropriately.
If SVM entries are encountered, set opt.svm_mode so that other
SVM-specific functionality is triggered.
Remove the `--svm-mode` command-line option, since it's now redundant.

libxl passes some information to libacpi to create the ACPI table for a PVH

While the population of the bitmap is done correctly for HVM based on the
number of online vCPUs, for PVH the population of the bitmap is done based on
the number of maximum vCPUs allowed. This leads to all local APIC entries in
the MADT being set as enabled, which contradicts the data in xenstore if vCPUs
is different than maximum vCPUs.
Fix by copying the internal libxl bitmap that's populated based on the vCPUs
