On solaris mlock requires a page aligned address and mlock doesn't
ensure the pages won't minor page fault.

1. platform_op -- used by dom0 kernel to perform actions on the
hardware platform (e.g., MTRR access, microcode update, platform
quirks, ...)
2. domctl -- used by management tools to control a specified domain
3. sysctl -- used by management tools for system-wide actions
Benefits include more sensible factoring of actions to
hypercalls. Also allows tool compatibility to be tracked separately
from the dom0 kernel. The assumption is that it will be easier to
replace libxenctrl, libxenguest and Xen as a matched set if the
dom0 kernel does not need to be replaced too (e.g., because that
would require vendor revalidation).
From here on we hope to maintain dom0 kernel compatibility. This
promise is not extended to tool compatibility beyond the existing
guarantee that compatibility will not be broken within a three-level
stable release [3.0.2, 3.0.3, etc.].

A better fix would be to tolerate temporary out-of-sync situations so we
can make a nicer fix to the kunmap_atomic() iossue (c/f -unstable csets
10529 & 10533) but this requires some more thought.

make enabling/disabling a run-time option too.

This means that xc_linux_save can be used without the xc_save wrapper if
desired.

This includes quite a few cleanups / refactoring of the old code, some
of which is intended to prepare for 64-bit save/restore.

change to watch out for is that the suspend record, on
save/restore, is now passed via register %edx not %esi
