mce: Clean-up mcheck_init handler
Firstly and most importantly, the maxium MCA banks are hard-coded as
MAX_NR_BANKS, which is 30. This is not architecture correct. This
patch removes this definition, replacig the cpu_banks_t with
mca_banks, and provide some basic function, like
set/clear/test/alloc/free for mcabanks_t.
Secondly, remove the broadcast_check code to intel specific, since
only Intel platform support broadcast now.
Thirdly, the X86_FEATURE_MCA check and CR4_MCE enable is done in every
vendor-specifc callback, that's redundant, move it to
mcheck_init. Also, we should enable CR4_MCE only in the end of the
mcheck_init, to close the small window between CR4_enable and the mca
setup.
And we also move vmce specific code to vmce.c as vmce_init, to make

xl: init scripts (v2)
Now the init script is called xencommons and, as the name suggests, it
is a common script between xl and xend because it is used to start
xenconsoled, xenstored and xenbackendd and the initialization of these
three daemons has been removed from xend. The global
xen_toolstack=xl/xend variable has been removed. Regarding the
network setup, I made the vif scripts follow the same pattern as the
other scripts in xen-backend: a new script called vif-setup is
executed unconditionally. vif-setup is going to do the right thing
depending on the value of the environmental variable "script" (same
technique used before), defaulting to vif-bridge. In the common
scenario the toolstack doesn't need to set the variable "script"
because vif-bridge is going to be called anyway. There is no global
network script to setup the network bridges with xl, so if you are
using xl without xend, you need to manually configure the bridges
using your distro network setup, or, if you are lazy, you can just add
something like:

Add xl init scripts
this patch adds an init script for xl, so that it can be used without
xend installed on the system. In cases in which both toolstacks are
present, only one init script will be run, dependening on the value of
xen_toolstack in /etc/sysconfig/xen_toolstack. Please note that a
correct value of xen_toolstack (either xl or xend), is required now.
The network script and the vif script to be used with xl can be
specified in /etc/sysconfig/xenlightdaemons. Xl sets the vif script
to xl-vif-script by default, that reads /etc/sysconfig/xenlightdaemons
and calls the vif script set there. A port to a debian system should
be straightforward, just replacing /etc/sysconfig with /etc/default
everywhere.

Add a safety valve to the HVM RTC model for big time jumps

xc: deal with xen/evtchn and xen/gntdev device names
This patch makes xc_linux properly deal with:
1. discovering and creating device nodes if necessary
2. the new form of xen/<dev> device names soon to be used by the
kernel
This changes the logic slightly:
- If a device node already exists with the proper name, then it uses
it as-is, assuming it has already been correctly created.
- If the path doesn't exist, or it exists but isn't a device node,
and
it has successfully found the major/minor for the device, then
(re)create the device node.
Since this logic is identical for gntdev and evtchn, make a common
function to handle both.
