I've retained xen.lowlevel.{xc,xs} since they seem more widely useful. I also
kept xen.lowlevel.xl even though it is disabled by default and IMHO useless in
its current form.
I've tried to clean up the various associated bits like example configs, init
scripts, udev rules etc but no doubt I have missed something, those can easily
be cleaned up later.
I've also removed xm-test since although it could in theory be reworked to
test xl it hasn't been touched for years. If someone wants to resurrect it
then they could do so via the git history.
This has been built but not runtime tested.

Make rdname function work with xl.
The rdname function not support json output of xl commands and this cause
problems using xl, for example the check if domUs are already running (because
they have been restored) on domUs autostart does not succeed and the domain is
created in any case, causing xl create to fail.

Remove 4 from default runlevel in xen-watchdog, xend and xendomains.
Similar to what changeset 24847:0900b1c905f1 does in xencommons, remove
runlevel 4 from the other runlevel scripts. LSB defines runlevel 4 as
reserved for local use, the local sysadmin is responsible for symlink
creation in rc4.d.
Runlevel 4 was specified in Default-Start since a very long time. Then
it was copied also to the new xen-watchdog in 21861:fb3649141e19. Until
now this was not an issue since only xencommons is automatically enabled
during package install, and a custom xend and xendomains script is
included in the SuSE packages. Since some time a rpmlint check complains
about the wrong Default-Start entry in xen-watchdog.

Upstream the "xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that
uploads said data to hypervisor." takes care of uploading power information
information that normally a cpu frequency scaling driver would using
in the initial domain. We want the hypervisor to take that data and
make good usage of it.
Fortunatly for us we do not have to worry about the native cpu frequency
scaling drivers being loaded first, as the upstream commit:
"xen/cpufreq: Disable the cpu frequency scaling drivers from loading."
takes care of that. Meaning we can load the xen-acpi-processor at any time.
By default that driver is built as a module - and since we are
the only user of it - we should load it.

LSB defines runlevel 4 as "reserved for local use, default is
normal/full multiuser"
The current behaviour of insserv in openSuSE 11.4 and SLES11SP2 is that
xencommons gets a symlink in /etc/init.d/rc4.d/ due to the 4 in the
Default-Start: line. As a result insserv will print a warning:
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (2 3 5) of script `xencommons' overwrites defaults (2 3 4 5).
Since the local admin is responsible to create all symlinks manually in
/etc/init.d/rc4.d/ the xencommons script should not automatically enable
itself in runlevel 4.
So, remove the 4 from Default-Start: line.
Note: This change will not automatically remove old/stale xencommon
symlinks in /etc/init.d/rc4.d/ during a package upgrade.

Move the sxp producing code off into a separate file. It is supported
for legacy reasons and needn't be updated other than the improve
compatibility with xm.
libxl_domain_config is not currently generated by the IDL (adding the
necessary support for Array types is on my to do list) so hand code
the json generation function for now.
Since this rather directly exposes a libxl data structure it's not
clear what sort of forward compatibility guarantees we can
make. However it seems like it should be as stable as libxl's own API
(which we are looking to stabilise)

more scalable and more reliable than the C xenstored.
In particular the transaction model in oxenstored does not involve taking a
complete copy of the database and aborting on any (even non-conflicting) other
change.
There is a paper on the design and implementation of oxenstored at

Changset 22806:eefb8e971be5 broke 'xl'.

create I get this:
libxl: error: libxl.c:53:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running?
failed to stat /var/run/xenstore.pid: No such file or directory
cannot init xl context
The reason for the failure is that the NetBSD startup script
creates the file
/var/run/xenstored.pid
but libxl checks for
/var/run/xenstore.pid
Attached patch makes this consistent across Linux and NetBSD by
changing the Linux name (to the more-conventional food.pid form).

Since 22187:c41252a55a0a we have been installing our example
xencommons settings file in either /etc/sysconfig or /etc/default,
depending on whether /etc/sysconfig exists.
However I omitted to add the code to /etc/init.d/xencommons to
actually read either version of the file, although every other init
script seems to have it.
An effect of this misplaced/unread file is that the automatic tests
don't cause xenconsoled to collect serial logs, because the tester
edits whichever file actually exists.
