tools: utility to dump guest grant table info
As both xen-netfront and xen-blkfront support multi-queue, they would
consume a lot of grant table references when there are many paravirtual
devices and vcpus assigned to guest. Guest domU might panic or hang due to
grant allocation failure when nr_grant_frames in guest has reached its max
value.
This utility would help the administrators to diagnose xen issue. There is
only one command gnttab_query_size so far to monitor the guest grant table
frame usage on dom0 side so that it is not required to debug on guest
kernel side for crash/hang analysis anymore.
It is extensible for adding new commands for more diagnostic functions and
the framework of xen-diag.c is from xen-livepatch.c.
