xc_domain_save/restore currently pay no attention to
HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN which results in an HVM domain running a recent
version on Windows (post-Vista) locking up on a domain restore due to
EOIs (done via a viridian MSR write) being silently dropped. This
patch adds an extra save entry for the viridian parameter and also
adds code in the viridian kernel module to catch attempted use of
viridian functionality when the HVM parameter has not been set.

Without this change it is not possible to page-out all guest pages, then
trigger a page-in for all pages, and then page-out everything once
again. All pages in the mru list can not be paged out because they
remain active in the internal bitmap of paged pages.
Use the mru list only if the number of paged-out pages is larger than
the mru list. If the number is smaller, start to clear the mru list. In
case the number of paged-out pages drops to zero the mru list and the
internal bitmap will be empty as well.
Also add a new interface for dropped pages. If a gfn was dropped there
is no need to adjust the mru list because dropping a page is not usage
of a page.

The Intel GPU uses a two pages NVS region called OpRegion.
In order to get full support for the driver in the guest
we need to map this region.
This patch reserves 2 pages on the top of the memory in the
reserved area and mark this region as NVS in the e820. Then
we write the address to the config space (offset 0xfc) so the
device model can map the OpRegion at this address in the guest.

I could have sworn I did this years ago.
IIRC the need for our own copy was due to the use of io_set_eventfd which is
not present in version 0.3.106. However it is in 0.3.107 the first version of
which was uploaded to Debian in June 2008 (I can't find a better reference for
the release date).
The necessary version is available in Debian Lenny onwards and is in at least
RHEL 6, Fedora 13 and OpenSuSE 11.3. The necessary version appears to not be
available in RHEL 5 or SLES 11 which is why I haven't simply nuked the in tree
version.
This is based on tools-system-libaio.diff from the Debian packaging although I
have made it optional (but default on).

Change the way we relocate the memory page if they overlap with pci
hole. Use new map space (XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_range) to move the loop
into xen.
This code usually get triggered when a device is pass through to a
guest and the PCI hole has to be extended to have enough room to map
the device BARs. The PCI hole will starts lower and it might overlap
with some RAM that has been alocated for the guest. That usually
happen if the guest has more than 4G of RAM. We have to relocate
those pages in high mem otherwise they won't be accessible.
