libxl always uses xc_dom_gnttab_init(), which internally calls
xc_dom_gnttab{_hvm,}_seed() to set up the grants point at the console and
xenstore rings. For HVM guests, libxl then asks Xen for the information set
up previously, and calls xc_dom_gnttab_hvm_seed() a second time, which is
wasteful. ARM construction expects libxl to have set up
dom->{console,xenstore}_evtchn earlier, so only actually functions because of
this second call.
Rationalise everything and make it consistent for all guests.
1) Users of the domain builder are expected to provide
dom->{console,xenstore}_{evtchn,domid} unconditionally. This is checked
by setting invalid values in xc_dom_allocate(), and checking in
xc_dom_boot_image().
2) For x86 HVM and ARM guests, the event channels are given to Xen at the
same time as the ring gfns. ARM already did this, but x86 is updated to
match. x86 PV already provides this information in the start_info page.
3) Libxl is updated to drop all relevant functionality from
hvm_build_set_params(), and behave consistently with PV guests when it
comes to the handling of dom->{console,xenstore}_{evtchn,domid,gfn}.
This removes several redundant hypercalls (including a foreign mapping) from
the x86 HVM and ARM construction paths.

The sole use of xc_dom_translated() and xc_dom_p2m() outside of the domain
builder is for libxl_dom() to translate the console and xenstore pfns back
into useful values. PV guest pfns are only interesting to the domain builder,
and gfns are the address space used by all other hypercalls.
Renaming the fields in xc_dom_image is deliberate, as it will cause
out-of-tree users of the dombuilder to notice the different semantics.
Correct the terminology throughout xc_dom_gnttab{_hvm,}_seed(), which are all
using gfns despite the existing variable names.

Set the SIF_VIRT_P2M_4TOOLS flag for pv-domUs in the domain builder
to indicate the Xen tools have full support for the virtual mapped
linear p2m list.
This will enable pv-domUs to drop support of the 3 level p2m tree
and use the linear list only. Without setting this flag some kernels
might limit themselves to 512 GB memory size in order not to break
migration.

tools/libxc, tools/libelf: Relicense under LGPL v2.1
Relicense these two libraries under LGPL v2.1 only except where
individual files already included the "or later" provision.
Copyright holders have been contacted by Stephen Spector and have all
agreed this change.
Removed tools/libxc/ia64/aclinux.h since it appeared to be
unused. There is a separate, more up to date, copy in
xen/include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h which does appear to be used.
Clarify the license of MiniOS privcmd.h under the same terms as other
tools/include/xen-sys headers.

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.

The main idea of this patch is:
1) The admin sets aside some memory below 128G for 32-bit paravirtual
domain creation (via dom0_mem=-<value> in kernel comand line).
2) The admin also explicitly states to the tools (i..e xend) how much
memory is supposed to be left untouched by 64-bit domains
3) If a 32-bit pv DomU gets created, no ballooning ought to be
necessary (since if it is, no guarantee can be made about the address
range of the memory ballooned out), and memory gets allocated from the
reserved range.
4) Upon 64-bit (or 32-bit HVM or HVM) DomU creation, the tools
determine the amount of memory to be ballooned out of Dom0 by adding
the amount needed for the new guest and the amount still in the
reserved pool (and then of course subtracting the total amount of
memory the hypervisor has available for guest use).

This patch adds the option "superpages" to the domain configuration
file. If it is set, the domain is populated using 2M pages.
This code does not support fallback to small pages. If the domain can
not be created with 2M pages, the create will fail.
The patch also includes support for saving and restoring domains with
the superpage flag set. However, if a domain has freed small pages
within its physical page array and then extended the array, the
restore will fill in those freed pages. It will then attempt to
allocate more than its memory limit and will fail. This is
significant because apparently Linux does this during boot, thus a
freshly booted Linux image can not be saved and restored successfully.
