 And already applied as I see. I think rushing things in like this is

 Changes like this should be free to go in as de-facto bug fixes

Roger Pau Monne 1a92e6c4de libxl: remove code added to use the 'phy' backend with CDROM devices
This is a partial revert of 612f15, that allowed CDROM devices to use the
'phy' PV backend. Due to limitations in the current implementation of the
libxl_cdrom_insert function, the PV backend used in conjunction with an
emulated CDROM device must always be Qdisk at the moment. This is due to
libxl_cdrom_insert not running disk hotplug scripts on plug and unplug of PV
CDROM backends (and possibly other yet to be identified issues).

Roger Pau Monne 1aee836fe2 xen: change the sizes of fields in the HVM start info layout to be 64bits
At the moment the only consumer of this structure is x86, but other arches
might also use it, so make all the fields 64bits. On x86 Xen will still try
to place everything below the 4GiB boundary, but that might not be feasible
in other arches.

Dario Faggioli eeecf9d761 xl: make return type of create_domain() more consistent.
create_domain() is of uint32_t return type, because on
success it returns the domid of the new domain, and
uint32_t is what we typically use for domid-s.

However, on failure, it returns ERROR_FAIL or ERROR_INVAL,
which are -3 and -6. Callers assign the return value to an
'int rc' variable and then check for '(rc < 0)'.

Although things work, and no tool (compiler, Coverity, ecc.)
is complaining, using 'int' as return type seems better.

Roger Pau Monne f75f726a6e libxl: replace the usage of uuid_t with a char array
The internals of the uuid_t struct don't match a big endian octet stream on
*BSD systems, which means that it cannot be directly casted to a
uint8_t[16].

In order to solve that change the type to be an unsigned char[16], which
doesn't imply any other change on Linux. On *BSDs change the helpers so that
the uuid is always stored as a big endian byte stream.

NB: tested on FreeBSD and Linux only.

George Dunlap ef498d99bb libxl: Fix uninitialized pointer when passing an empty cdrom
Commit 3fec17d4bb introduced a bug where
an empty cdrom would cause target_path to be uninitialized.  Initialize
target_path to NULL instead.

The other option here would have been to set target_path to NULL only
on the LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_EMPTY path.  That would potentially enable
the compiler to catch future uninitialized paths, rather than having
those paths (potentially) dereference a NULL pointer.  But given that
a bunch of our compilers failed to catch *this* uninitialized path,
setting it to NULL at declaration seems the safer option for now.

disk directly, or by plugging the target disk into dom0 to allow
access.

Unfortunately, while the plugging machinery works for pygrub, it does
not yet work for qemuu; this means that at the moment, disks with
hotplug scripts or disks with non-dom0 backends cannot be provided as
emulated devices to HVM domains.

Fortunately, disks using hotplug scripts created in dom0 do create a
block device as part of set-up, which can be accessed locally; and if
they use block-common.sh:write_dev, this path will be written to
physical-device-path.

Modify libxl__device_disk_setdefault() to be able to fish this path
out of xenstore and pass it to the caller.

Unfortunately, at the time pygrub runs, the devices have not yet been
set up.  Rather than try to stash the domid somewhere to pass, we just
pass INVALID_DOMID.

This allows qemuu to emulate block devices created with custom hotplug
scripts.

George Dunlap ba09d5fcaa libxl: Share logic for finding path between qemuu and pygrub
qemu can also access disks which will be provided with a qdisk backend
directly; add a flag to libxl__device_disk_find_local_path to indicate
whether to check for qdisk direct access.

Call libxl__device_disk_find_local_path() for most paths.  If we can't
find a local path, print an error and skip the disk, rather than using
a bogus path.

Now if there is no local access to the disk (i.e., because the disk
has a non-local backend, or relies on a custom hotplug script), libxl
will now print a warning and not provide the emulated disk, rather
than providing bogus parameters to qemu which cause it to error out.
(Such disks will still be available via the PV backend.)

I left the libxl__blktap_devpath in the qemuu-specific code rather
than sharing it with the pyrgub code because:

1) When the pygrub path runs the guest disks have not yet been set up

2) libxl__blktap_devpath() will give you the existing devpath if it
already exists, but will set one up for you if you don't.  So on the
pygrub path, this would end up setting up a new tap device.

3) There is no tap-specific teardown code on the pygrub path, and I
don't want to add any (particularly since I'm hoping to remove tapdisk
altogether soon).
