30 seconds is not a very long time for a busy domain to cleanly
shutdown all its services, which may be arbitrary in
complexity. Increase the timeout to 5 minutes.

Instead of violently destroying a domain that is not responding to a
shutdown request, rename the domain to indicate the problem and leave
it alone; this allows the admin to make corrective actions (which may
or may not include destroying the domain).

The Domain ID is currently expected to fit in 3 digits.
When doing extensive testing on SAVE/RESTORE I can easily get ID's
into the 4-digit range, which makes some of the formatting to get out
of sync. Extend the width to 5 digits (and change some %-ns to %ns, as
the ID for example is right justified, %-ns is left-justified, which
didn't look too good).

1) Sets a minimum of 128MB RAM for an ia64 domU; this limit was set
after experimentation, which seems to indicate it's a reasonable lower
limit (the 32MB limit previously in place did not allow an ia64 domU
to start). If there's any problem with this, I don't mind splitting
the patch and sending it to the ia64 list, but it was small, so I hope
it's okay to include it.
2) xm-test uses ramdisks built with uClibc, which doesn't compile on
ia64. I was able to create a ramdisk by hand, but as it was too
large, the resultant domU crashed after boot. This patch enables the
use of an arbitrarily large ramdisk, so long as it's uncompressed. As
xm-test builds only uncompressed ramdisks, I figured this was
reasonable for that specific application. Suggestions on how to
detect and handle a compressed ramdisk would be welcome.

As there is a (small) chance that vl.c:tap_open() fails (due to some
sort of race-condition in the Linux kernel, which is noted as a bug in
the source .../net/core/dev.c), we should attempt it again a couple of
times if it doesn't succeed on the first attempt. I think three times
in total is sufficient to avoid the problem.
If tap_open() fails, qemu-dm will exit, which means that the domain
dies - which is not such a good thing when attempting to restore a saved
domain [of course, it would be even worse if it started, but didn't
have networking - because there may not be a way to shut it down
cleanly without network].

The function XendDomainInfo:_releaseDevices() is called during the
save/destroy phase of a domain. It made some attempt to clean up the
devices, but wasn't complete, leaving dangling devices in the
xenstore. Not a big problem with normal use of Xen, but a buildup over
a large number of save/destroy instances, it would make the xenstore
database grow quite large, which in turn meant swap-thrashing in Dom0.
This patch makes use of the destroyDevices() function in
XendDomainInfo. This function needed some re-writing to make it work
correctly - I think it had some old code (not sure how old, as xm
annotate says that it's changeset 12071, but that, I think, is when it
was split out from XendDomain.py, rather than when it was created).
I have tested this over a few hundred save/restore cycles [two domains
constantly saved/restored with a short sleep to let them process some
work] combined with a loop of "xenstore-ls|wc". The output of the
latter is pretty much constant (it obviously varies a bit depending on
when in the save/restore cycle it hits). Previously, it would increase
by some 10 lines or so per save/restore cycle.

If creating an unmanaged guest (eg xm create), if device hotplug fails
during the startup of the guest, then the guest will be torn down
again. If creating and starting a managed guest (eg xm new && xm
start), then if device hotplug fails, the still born guest gets left
in 'paused' state. This confuses users no end, who go an unpause and
then get all upset when it shortly crashes (due to lack of disk or
network devices).
The attached patch fixes XenDomain.py's domain_start() method so that
if waitForDevices() fails, then the entire domain is torn down. This
is the same approach used in xm create.

When I changed the scheduler parameters of a domain with
xm sched-credit, the information of xm sched-credit was changed.
But as for the information of xm list, the values of the domain
configuration definition were kept.
And, then I rebooted the domain. The information of xm list was
not changed. But as for the information of xm sched-credit, the
values of the domain configuration definition were returned.
# xm create /xen/PVdomain.1 cpu_cap=150 cpu_weight=512
Using config file "/xen/PVdomain.1".
Started domain PVdomain.1
# xm sched-credit -d PVdomain.1
Name ID Weight Cap
PVdomain.1 1 512 150
# xm sched-credit -d PVdomain.1 -c 75 -w 384
# xm sched-credit -d PVdomain.1
Name ID Weight Cap
PVdomain.1 1 384 75
# xm list --long PVdomain.1 | grep cpu_
(cpu_weight 512)
(cpu_cap 150)
(cpu_time 29.353831745)
# xm reboot PVdomain.1
# xm sched-credit -d PVdomain.1
Name ID Weight Cap
PVdomain.1 2 512 150
# xm list --long PVdomain.1 | grep cpu_
(cpu_weight 512)
(cpu_cap 150)
(cpu_time 5.950247186)
If the scheduler parameters of the domain were changed with
xm sched-credit, I think that xm list should show the current
values about the scheduler parameters.
And, then if the domain is rebooted, I think that the rebooted
domain should keep the preceding values about the scheduler
parameters.

It turns out that although PIIX4 hardware defines the S5 type code to
be 000, all OSes will discover the correct code by evlauating an \_Sx
object in the ACPI DSDT. And we set the type code in that object to be
111.
So this patch keeps the other cleanups made to the piix4acpi.c file,
but switches back to checking for code 111. It also makes it clearer
in both the ioemu code and in the dsdt source code where these magic
numbers come from.
Let's hope noone actually has the true PIIX4 type codes hardcoded
(it's highly doubtful that anyone would).
