restoration of old images. It is also likely that we will want to
increase this amount in the future.

Store pty name in xenstore for the benefit of the tools.
This is a rather intrusive patch, because we need a mechanism to get
the ptsname out of the guts of the qemu startup code. This is a
first cut of such a thing which might eventually go upstream.
The main new interface is chr_getname, a new CharDriverState method.
If implemented it returns "<type> <name>" where currently "<type>" is
"pty" for ptys. If not implemented the function pointer may be null.
We import store_dev_info from xen-unstable (17987:9b35ae586cb8) and
eviscerate it appropriately.

Do not rebuild every time ./xen-setup is run.
This involves saving config-host.h while we rerun config and
regenerate it, putting the saved version back, and then installing
the new version only if it has changed.

fix disk format security vulnerability; do not guess format for qcow vbds
These are the accidentally dropped hunks of xen-unstable 17606 and 17646.
Particularly, 17606 is important:
* make the xenstore reader in qemu-dm's startup determine which
of qemu's block drivers to use according to the xenstore
backend `type' field. This `type' field typically comes from
the front of the drive mapping string in ioemu. The
supported cases are:
xm config file string `type' image format qemu driver
phy:[/dev/]<device> phy raw image bdrv_raw
file:<filename> file raw image bdrv_raw
tap:aio:<filename> tap raw image bdrv_raw
tap:qcow:<image> tap not raw autoprobe
tap:<cow-fmt>:<image> tap named format bdrv_<cow-fmt>
It is still necessary to autoprobe when the image is specified as
`tap:qcow:<image>', because qemu distinguishes `qcow' and `qcow2'
whereas blktap doesn't; `qcow' in xenstore typically means what
qemu calls qcow2. This is OK because qemu can safely distinguish
the different cow formats provided we know it's not a raw image.

Fix remaining missing changes to update to xen-unstable 17958.
We had accidentally dropped some changes from 17737 to 17831.
Fixed by in xen-unstable:
hg update 17737
patch -p1 < vga-patch-from-xen-unstable-17737:c93a913c221f
hg diff -r 17831 tools/ioemu >patch
and then in qemu.git:
patch -R -U -p3 <.../patch
and fix up conflicts, which were:
Makefile.target - stubdom changes, defer for now
hw/vga.c - one easy fixup, one change already in our tree
hw/xenfb.c - already done completely earlier, so discard changes

Merge with xen-unstable tip 17958
This was achieved with
hg diff -r{17831,17958} tools/ioemu

As an exception, xenfb.c was done the other way around:
* hg update 17737, apply vga-patch-from-xen-unstable-17737\:c93a913c221f
* diff that against git 79a235b20a6833fe5bdc78b52921cdd2ad12f284

qemu-xen: Fix extendable images
bdrv_file_open should specify raw image format instead of
guessing. This fixes a segfault when bdrv_open2 wants to access
drv->flags. bdrv_file_open is used at least by qcow2.
Additionally, move the extensible flag from bdrv_host_device to
bdrv_raw. qcow2 wants to open the image file as an extensible file.

Set VNC password from xenstore.
Upstream doesn't appear to have a way to set the password other than
from the monitor, so we introduce this which is a bit messy.
When upstream's new option/config parsing is merged, we should make a
patch for upstream with a config option to read the password out of a
file or fd, and use that.

New scriptarg=... -net parameter allows passing of an argument to the script.
Previously, network scripts would have to do all of their work based
only on the script name and interface name. If the script's behaviour
is supposed to be different for different network interfaces this
might involve constructing a special script for each interface with
the associated need to delete it etc.
With this patch it is possible to specify
-net=...,scriptarg=<extra-info>
which gets passed as a $2 to the qemu-ifup script.

Update to xen-unstable 17737 plus ds->resize_shared vs. ds_resize
This one commit contains two substantial sets of changes:
* All changes from xen-unstable from 17647 to 17737:c93a913c221f
* Shared display buffer API revamp
Patch from Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>, to
do shared display buffer stuff with a different (backward-compatible)
API which avoids having to change all of the other display hardware
models. Stefano tells me this patch is likely to break stubdom in
its current state.
The commit is the result of applying Stefano's patch to xen-unstable
hg 17737, then running hg diff -r17647 tools/ioemu, applying the
output to the git tree with patch, and fixing up the conflicts (which
were easy).
To make future merges easier, I have included Stefano's patch rebased
to 17737 (the result of hg diff -r17737 from the above hg tree) here,
so that the base point for a future merge to a new xen-unstable tip is
easy to recreate.
