Instead of sending dirty pages of guest memory as-is, use a simple compression
algorithm that sends a RLE-encoded XOR of the page against its last sent copy.
A small LRU cache is used to hold recently dirtied pages. Pagetable pages are
sent as-is, as they are canonicalized at sender side and uncanonicalized at
receiver.

Normally, when a userspace process mapping a grant crashes, the domain
providing the reference receives no indication that its peer has
crashed, possibly leading to unexpected freezes or timeouts. This
function provides a notification of the unmap by signalling an event
channel and/or clearing a specific byte in the page.
This also unifies the 3 very similar grant-mapping osdep interfaces into
a single function instead of introducing yet another minor variation.

Up to now a single ring buffer was used for mem_share, xenpaging and
xen-access. Each helper would have to cooperate and pull only its own
requests from the ring. Unfortunately this was not implemented. And
even if it was, it would make the whole concept fragile because a crash
or early exit of one helper would stall the others.
What happend up to now is that active xenpaging + memory_sharing would
push memsharing requests in the buffer. xenpaging is not prepared for
such requests.
This patch creates an independet ring buffer for mem_share, xenpaging
and xen-access and adds also new functions to enable xenpaging and
xen-access. The xc_mem_event_enable/xc_mem_event_disable functions will
be removed. The various XEN_DOMCTL_MEM_EVENT_* macros were cleaned up.
Due to the removal the API changed, so the SONAME will be changed too.

Cpumap types in tools (libxc and libxl) are changed to be based on bytes like
in the interface to the hypervisor.
To make handling easier the size of used cpumaps is always based on the
number of physical cpus supported by the hypervisor. This eliminates the need
to keep track of the cpumap size in external interfaces.
In libxl a macro for cycling through a cpumap is added (libxl_for_each_cpu).
Interfaces changed:
libxl_set_vcpuaffinity()
libxl_cpumap_alloc()
xc_vcpu_setaffinity()
xc_vcpu_getaffinity()
xc_cpupool_freeinfo()

Currently the wrappers for these hypercalls swallow partial success
and return failure to the caller.
In order to use these functions more widely instead of open-coding
uses of XENMEM_* and xc_memory_op add variants which return the actual
hypercall result.
Therefore add the following functions:
xc_domain_increase_reservation
xc_domain_decrease_reservation
xc_domain_populate_physmap
and implement the existing semantics using these new functions as
xc_domain_increase_reservation_exact
xc_domain_decrease_reservation_exact
xc_domain_populate_physmap_exact
replacing the existing xc_domain_memory_* functions.
Use these new functions to replace all open coded uses of
XENMEM_increase_reservation, XENMEM_decrease_reservation and
XENMEM_populate_physmap.
Also rename xc_domain_memory_*_pod_target to xc_domain_*_pod_target
for consistency.
Temporarily add a compatibility macro for
xc_domain_memory_populate_physmap to allow time for qemu to catch up.

After a great deal of discussion and review with linux
kernel developers, it appears there are "next-generation"
filesystems (such as btrfs, xfs, Lustre) that will not
be able to use tmem due to an ABI limitation... a field
that represents a unique file identifier is 64-bits in
the tmem ABI and may need to be as large as 192-bits.
So to support these guest filesystems, the tmem ABI must be
revised, from "v0" to "v1".
I *think* it is still the case that tmem is experimental
and is not used anywhere yet in production.
The tmem ABI is designed to support multiple revisions,
so the Xen tmem implementation could be updated to
handle both v0 and v1. However this is a bit
messy and would require data structures for both v0
and v1 to appear in public Xen header files.
I am inclined to update the Xen tmem implementation
to only support v1 and gracefully fail v0. This would
result in only a performance loss (as if tmem were
disabled) for newly launched tmem-v0-enabled guests,
but live-migration between old tmem-v0 Xen and new
tmem-v1 Xen machines would fail, and saved tmem-v0
guests will not be able to be restored on a tmem-v1
Xen machine. I would plan to update both pre-4.0.2
and unstable (future 4.1) to only support v1.
I believe these restrictions are reasonable at this
point in the tmem lifecycle, though they may not
be reasonable in the near future; should the tmem
ABI need to be revised from v1 to v2, I understand
backwards compatibility will be required.
