These functions and the xc_gntshr device (/dev/xen/gntalloc on linux)
allow applications to create pages shared with other domains.

Normally, when a userspace process mapping a grant crashes, the domain
providing the reference receives no indication that its peer has
crashed, possibly leading to unexpected freezes or timeouts. This
function provides a notification of the unmap by signalling an event
channel and/or clearing a specific byte in the page.
This also unifies the 3 very similar grant-mapping osdep interfaces into
a single function instead of introducing yet another minor variation.

The maximum number of grants is now constrained domain-wide in linux,
so set_max_grants should be a noop there. Previously, this constraint
was per-file-description.

They simply make hypercalls and perform other operations via the
abstract interface. Create xc_gnttab.c and move those functions there.

Valgrind cannot see when a hypercall has initialised entries in a data
structure, so appropriate memsets have been placed before using dom0_op_t,
privcmd_hypercall_t, and a couple of miscellaneous blocks passed into this
layer. This initialises the block so that valgrind considers it to be valid,
but the data therein will be immediately overwritten by the hypercall, all
being well.
These changes are semantically neutral if -DVALGRIND is not set.

The few uses for a physical/machine address have been mostly
changed to u64.
Grant table code probably needs auditing for PAE correctness,
but at least the interface is now sound.
