Update VM's VCPU handling to match the documentation wrt VCPUs_max and
VCPUs_at_startup. Add VM.set_VCPUs_number_live, VM.add_to_VCPUs_params_live,
VM_metrics.VCPUs_{CPU,flags,params}.
Use these new calls to implement xm vcpu-list and xm sched-credit through
the Xen-API. Mark a number of other calls as unimplemented through that API.

Change xm dmesg -c so that it prints out the current buffer as well as clearing
it. This avoids a race so that you don't lose messages, matches the behaviour
of the hypercall, and the Unix dmesg command.
Change the Xen-API binding to use a separate function host.dmesg_clear rather
than a flag on host.dmesg.

[XEN] Implement faster int 0x80 handling for compat mode guests.
Using the GPF handler to spot the software interrupt and pass it back
to the guest increases the base syscall time by a factor of 2.7
compared with 32on32 using direct trap to ring 1. (0.3270->0.8680
microseconds, measured with lmbench lat_syscall).
Since the 64 bit IDT can only contain 64 bit segment selectors we
cannot trap directly to compat mode ring 1. However implementing a
dedicated 64 bit ring 0 trap handler allows us to avoid much of the
GPF handler overhead and reduces the overhead to 1.7 times
(0.3270->0.5497 microseconds).

Don't mount raw blktap disks for pygrub
Currently, we mount all blktap disks for pygrub so that it can boot
from e.g. QCOW images. However, since pygrub will handle a raw image
just fine without mounting through blktap, we shouldn't bother in that
case.
Also, it looks like XendDomainInfo.create_vbd() takes the full disk
uname rather than the image path.

hvm: Do not save/restore shared_info gpfn location.
Instead of kludging a max_gpfn estimate in shared_info, add a new
XENMEM command to discover the actual maximum gpfn value as known by
the shadow code.
This needs to be more robust when we support HVM ballooning in future
anyway. One interesting point is that max_gpfn may be close to 4GB
even for small-memory HVM guests since for example SVGA LFB is mapped
into the I/O hole. We may need to special case the I/O hole somehow,
or provide some finer-grained way to find out which parts of the GPFN
space are actually used (e.g., get Xen to fill in a bitmap with 1 bit
per 1024 pages, or similar).

The frequency of HPET device model is defined to be the same as TSC's,
but this doesn't work well with calibrate_tsc_hpet() in Linux kernel
2.6.16-33, causing some IA32 Linux HVM guests to failt o boot.
Calibrate_tsc_hpet() tries to figure out how many HPET ticks a TSC
cycle equals; it magnifies the result by scale of 2^32, trying to get
a more accurate result since it assumes the frequency of HPET in real
world is usually less than 1/100 of TSC, so the result of "(2^32 *
hpet_freq) / tsc_freq" may exceed 32bits, then a "divide error
(overflow)" would occur!
The result doesn't overflow every time because hpet_freq/tsc_freq may
less than 1.0 due to the little inaccuracy in the implementation of
HVM timer virtualization.
The arguments to this macro didn't have parentheses around them where
they were used. If a call to a TRACE macro included an expression as
an argument, the cast to (unsigned long) could bind to just part of
the expression and lead to unexpected results.

Xen and tools now require gcc 3.4+ on x86.
- gcc-3.2 cannot handle some multi-line assertions in the Xen

- gcc-3.3 has problems with alignment constraints inside typedefs.
gcc 3.4.0 is now three years old so I hope that everyone has an
up-to-date compiler, or can obtain a more up-to-date package for their
distribution. If not we may need to fall back to supporting gcc-3.3.x
as well.
Also clean up the way we do version checks, using the power of awk.
