[HVM] Support multiple HVM time device models coming soon.
1: Adopt an abstract layer for periodic time on top of different
HV time device models like PIT, RTC and ACPI time.
2: Extract VMM knowledge from PIT DM code and keep close with
qemu for easy maintain in future.
3: Use guest time (TSC) to drive PIT CLK that helps us to remove
a lot of extra logic previously introduced to convert from host time to
guest time.
4: Some cleanup for SMP code like move cache_tsc_offset to per VP.
[NET] front: Use netif_carrier to model backend-connection state.
The tristate backend_state really only needs to be a boolean. In fact
other virtualisation network drivers such as the s390 already model this
using netif_carrier_*. So by converting backend_state over to the net
carrier flag we can tap into existing infrastructure rather than creating
new ones.

Fix IDE CD-drive PIO mode.
CD drives in PIO mode don't work under Xen because of a change in Linux
between 2.6.12 and 2.6.16, as a result of the following thread:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2005-August/027197.html
The change breaks systems which have highmem and a swiotlb because the
ide-cd driver doesn't use the swiotlb, resulting in read/writes to/from
highmem pages in PIO mode not working any longer. Xen kernels usually have
both highmem and a swiotlb.

New memory_op subops which return the apparent or actual physical address map.
The new subops return a memory map in e820 format. This will allow the
removal of some Xen special casing in the Linux port by using the same
code as native.

[LOADER] More sanity checks when parsing Elf images to avoid
out-of-bounds array accesses when loading the image. Signed-off-by: Keir Fraser <keir@xensource.com>
[ACM] Replace the union structure parameter of the ACM hypercalls
with command-specific request structures. It aligns the ACM
hypercalls with the way parameters are passed in the event channel
hypercalls.
Advantages include backward-compatibility regarding old guests when
new calls are added and clarity of the code.
[LOADER] Another change to the elf_paddr_offset/virt_base logic.
This avoids using zero to indicate 'undefined'. Instead we use
an explicit boolean to indicate whether suitable defaults should
be used. As well as making the logic clearer (I believe) it also
avoids problems if anyone ever explicitly specifies virt_base
(and also elf_paddr_offset) as zero.
[IA64] sparse-merge: check SPARSEDIR for modifications
Check SPARSEDIR for modifications before allowing the merge.
This removes the need for the FIXME. Additionally clean up
empty diffs at the end of the run.
Here's another sparse-merge patch to allow ARCH to be set on the
command-line, and to add -C to the final hg update since it's probably
switching between branches.
[LOADER] Remove check for VIRT_BASE existence: it's not needed
to prevent xend crashign (when Aravindh's latest patch is
applied) and breaks ia64. Also, ensure we set a reasonable
default for elf_paddr_offset.
[BUILDER] Always build initial PAE pagetables with a fourth mid-level
pgdir. This is required for Xen to be able to insert its own protected
mappings. At the same time, clean up 32b and pae pagetable-size
calculations to use the helper macro already used for x86/64.
Based on an original patch from Bruce Rogers at Novell.
The enforce_dom0_cpus test sets the number of vcpus for the Dom0 and
checks to see if they have been set correctly. We found that on
multi-proc systems, it takes a certain amount of time for the number of
vcpus to change.
This patch checks the number of vcpus inside a loop until it is correct
or 20 seconds elapse, whichever happens first. If after 20 seconds the
number of vcpus is not changed correctly, an error is raised.
Several page allocations, done in the hypervisor when starting an HVM
domain, are not checked. This can cause the physical machine to crash
when starting the HVM domain during low-memory conditions.
Kudos to Charles Arnold for catching the problem with
shadow_direct_map_init.

[XEND] An empirical and more conservative memory-overhead estimate for PV and HVM guests.
This patch calculates the overhead needed for HVM domains. If HVM is
supported by the hardware, I add a little ballooning overhead to
paravirtualized VMs also, to avoid low-memory situations. (There are
various unchecked alloc_domheap_pages calls in shadow*.c that I am
trying to avoid tripping over for now...) The values in this patch work
fine on 32 bit; I may update them later based on feedback and/or testing
on 64 bit.

[XEND] separate concept of initial memory size and overhead memory size.
When a domain (whether para- or fully-virtualized) reports how much
overhead memory it requires (via getDomainMemory in image.py), all such
memory was immediately allocated to the domain itself. This is
certainly incorrect for HVM domains, since additional
increase_reservation calls are made later in qemu. Since all ballooned
memory is already taken, qemu will fail. The fix is to treat the
requested memory size and the overhead size as separate values. The
requested memory size is immediately allocated to the new domain; the
overhead is left unallocated for whatever else might need it later.

Fix a crash in gdbserver-xen where it references unmapped memory if
the page directory / page table pages are not present (for example
through dereferencing NULL in the gdb session). Changes:
- map_domain_va_32 has been rewritten to match map_domain_va_pae and
map_domain_va_64.
- All three functions have been extended to handle multiple vCPUs,
(untested, but shuld work), and check for _PAGE_PRESENT.
- Keir's workaround for the compile error in map_domain_va_64 has been
removed and hopefully fixed.

[NET] front: Remove tx_full and unnecessary queue operations
The tx_full variable merely mirrors information already present in
the XOFF bit on the net device. The net device architecture itself
is quite mature and can be trusted by Xen to maintain its state
correctly.
Also, it's pointless to stop the queue in close_netdev since it can
be waken up anyway since there could be a softirq running on another
CPU. All of this is handled by unregister_netdev anyway.

SVM patch to add a host save area per core for the hypervisor and also
for the microcode. The microcode area is not guaranteed to be
compatible with the vmcb layout, therefore will require it's own
"scratch pad". Consolidate the per core areas into a single structure.
Allow to specify different time-of-day clock offsets for HVM guests.
There are some usage scenarios in which differing user domains want
to be using different base TOD clocks. This patch adds the ability
to specify the base TOD time difference. The patch also adds a
hook point to notify another entity when the domain changes this
offset. This might occur, for instance, on a Linux domain using
hwclock -w.

When doing local migration, a timing-related problem occurred due to the
frontend switching to the Closed state, which could end up having
the .remove function being called after the backend has shut down. This

The other part of the patch cleans up freeing of memory.
