xen-*-syms cannot actually be booted, so putting it in /boot is a bit
misleading. It also happens to cause a warning from update-grub (so at
least it doesn't end up in grub.cfg)
/usr/lib/debug seems to be a pretty common path for installing such
debug info.

The current base directory /var/xen/dump for domU dumps will be patched
to /var/lib/xen/dump by most distros to follow FHS.
This change does three things:
- change the default from /var/xen/dump to /var/lib/xen/dump
- provide a configure option to avoid patching the source.
- update docs to refer to the new default location

An increasing version and/or release number helps to update existing
packages without --force as in "rpm Uvh --force xen.rpm". Instead its
possible to do "rpm -Fvh *.rpm" to update only already installed
packages.
The usage of --force disables essentials checks such as file conflict
detection. As a result the new xen.rpm may overwrite files owned by
other packages.
With the current way of calculating version-release it is difficult to
get an increasing release number into the spec file. The release is
always zero unless "make make XEN_VENDORVERSION=`date +.%s`" is used,
which has the bad side effect that xen.gz always gets a different
filename every time.
Update mkrpm to recognize PKG_RELEASE=. Its value will be appended to
the Release string. It can be filled with a time stamp, like:
make rpmball PKG_RELEASE="`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`"

This was disabled by default in Xen 4.4. Since xend has now been
removed from the tree I don't believe anything is using it.
We need to pass an explicit CONFIG_BLKTAP1=n to qemu-xen-traditional
otherwise it defaults to y and doesn't build.
This patch does all the ground work, the tools/blktap directory will
be removed in the next (*huge*) patch.
Note that this has no impact on blktap2, which is what libxl supports.
blktap1 was only usable via xend which has already been removed.
