The primary purpose of this patch is to add support for non-polling
access to the xen trace buffers. The hypervisor changes have already
been accepted.
Also included are a few bug fixes and some minor new features:
1. If xenmon is run without first allocating trace buffers (via
'setsize') and enabling them (via 'tbctl'), then this is done
automatically using sensible defaults.
2. There was a bug that caused the first second's worth of data output
from xenmon to be erroneous; This has been fixed.
3. There was a bug that caused xenmon to sometimes not display data for
newly created domains; This has also been fixed.
4. The xenmon display has a 'heartbeat' which flickers once per second.
This is to show that xenmon is still alive, even though the display
isn't changing at all, a situation that can happen sometimes when there
is nothing at all happening on a particular cpu.
5. Added cpu utilization display to the top of the xenmon window.
6. Added a bunch of options in xenmon to control exactly which metrics
are displayed, so the screen doesn't get cluttered with stuff you're not
interested in. The new options are:
--allocated
--noallocated
--blocked
--noblocked
--waited
--nowaited
--excount
--noexcount
--iocount
--noiocount
7. Added an option ("--cpu=N") to xenmon to specify which physical cpu
you'd like data displayed for.
8. Updated the README with information about default trace buffer size, etc.
