x86, hvm: stdvga cache always on
currently the hypervisor vga cache (stdvga.c) enables itself only in
graphical mode and in the a0000h-affffh range. However there is no
reason for this: it already allocates enought memory to map the whole
vram. I am attaching a patch that implements the bank switching
mechanism in stdvga.c, allowing the cache to be always enabled when
the emulated graphic card is in VGA mode.

shadow: track video RAM dirty bits
This adds a new HVM op that enables tracking dirty bits of a range of
video RAM. The idea is to optimize just for the most common case
(only one guest mapping, with sometimes some temporary other
mappings), which permits to keep the overhead on shadow as low as
possible.

ioemu: pump SDL events on resize
When sdl_resize resizes the SDL window, some window manager send back
a ConfigureNotify event, which triggers a SDL_VIDEORESIZE event. That
event, however, is seen only much later, on the next VGA refresh
round. If the guest quickly switches to another resolution in between,
the SDL_VIDEORESIZE event makes us erroneously rescale that new
resolution into the old one.
This patch makes us pump that window manager event, so that no
SDL_VIDEORESIZE event is generated.

1. We cannot rely on BSF/BSR leaving the destination register intact
if the source is zero (according to Intel manuals)
2. We race clear_bit() in find_first_bit(), which may occur after
SCAS but before BSF. So we must handle zero input to BSF.
console: Provide option to stall the inter-domain console ring rather
than discard characters in the console daemon buffers.
New option: -o, --overflow-data=discard|keep
This option changes the behaviour when dealing with data that overflow
the max capacity of the buffer. If overflow-data is set to discard
(the default), the current behaviour is used: we discard some data in
the middle of the buffer.
If overflow-data is set to keep, we stop listening to the ring until
we free some space in the buffer. This can cause the ring to fill up
and the guest kernel internal buffer to fill up as well. When this
happens the guest kernel stops reading characters from the console
device so the application generating data hangs. When xenconsoled
resumes reading from the ring, the guest kernel will be able to resume
reading from the console device as well. At that point the guest
application will be allowed to continue.
The risk of making this behaviour the default is that existing kernel
drivers may assume they can rely on timely ring updates by the console
daemon and thus themselves block on the ring being emptied.
If a hang-up of a guest OS occurs, we will restart the guest OS by
using

of a domain, and then creation of the domain.
