Introduce mechanism to check standard conformance of headers
While pretty simplistic, it appears to serve the purpose at the moment
(i.e. it spotted two places where a GNU extension was used withou
proper preprocessor conditionals). The "simplistic" here includes that
the checking gets only done for native builds, and ia64 gets excluded
due to its arch-specific header intentionally (for whatever reason)
checking that anonymous struct/unions can be used.

minios: implement ffs, ffsl and ffsll.
The first function is compiled only in case minios is compiled without
newlib, since newlib already provides an implementation for ffs.
On the other hand ffsl and ffsll are always compiled because newlib
misses those functions.
This patch also provides an implementation for __ffsti2 and __ffsdi2
because they are needed by gcc in order to successfully link ffsll.

minios: replace mktime implementation
In the efforts to clarify MiniOS license it came to my attention that
few portions of MiniOS were taken from other GPL projects, one of them
is the mktime implementation. This patch replaces the current GPL
licensed mktime implementation with a different and BSD licensed
version.
Network support is still provided the same way: using the tap
interface, created in qemu using netfront.
The lwip stack is still available to avoid additional compilation
issues.
However the stubdom is not going to have its own vif anymore,
this means that the only vnc server supported is the one in dom0.
You can still enable the vnc server in a stubdom at compile time, if
you want so.
Probably the most important change caused by this patch to xen users
is that you don't have to specify two vif in the stubdom config file
anymore, but just one:
This patch removes the need for a second configuration file for
stubdoms: it is going to be automatically generated by the script
stubdom-dm using command line options and xenstore to find any needed
information.
The configuration script will be placed under /etc/xen/stubdoms and
automatically removed when the domain is destroyed.
The only change needed in xend is not to write on xenstore sdl,
opengl and serial command line options for qemu, because stubdoms do
not support them.
It is safe to remove those two options from xenstore because qemu does
not use xenstore to read commans line options.
Finally this patch fixes blkfront disconnections from backends and
display and xauthority variables for pv guests.
The corruption happens every time we pass a sector aligned buffer
(instead of a page aligned buffer) to blkfront_aio. To trigger the COW
we have to write at least a byte to each page of the buffer, but we
must be careful not to overwrite useful content.

minios: allow to allocate machine contiguous pages
This is a port of XenLinux xen_alloc_contig_memory() to mini-os. A
sufficiently privileged mini-os guest can exchange a small number of
its pages with machine contiguous pages.
This patch removes all the useless big endian stuff from the mini-os.
Before there was an effort to support big endian for PV-guest.
But the big endian support was never gotten into the common parts of
the mini-os so it makes no sense to have this only in the ia64
specific sources. And as there is no open source big endian os and
porting our BS2000 os to ia64 was stopped, nobody wants that stuff
in the common minos.
So this looks ugly then and remove the big endian stuff.

minios: add a barebone net/if.h
net/if.h is a standard header but unfortunately lwip doesn't provide
it for any target but linux. Therefore I am adding a net/if.h, with an
empty implementation of the declared functions.

minios: do not expose #define current to applications
Currently the minios headers do this:
#define current get_current()
Obviously when porting general code to this environment, this can
cause problems !
The attached patch arranges for this only to be done if
#define __MINIOS__
is declared, which is set up by the makefile in extras/mini-os.
Suppressing the namespace pollution is necessary to get recent
upstream qemu's to compile, since they (quite properly) use `current'
as an ordinary identifier.

* Uninitialized dev_bus_addr argument to GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref
results in an angry hypervisor.
* Set errno in libxc and return -1 on error.
* op.status is a int16_t, so it should be printed with PRId16.
* Don't print domids[0] or refs[0] if the ptr is NULL. It's more
polite to crash later, after the message has been printed.

I've implemented a grant map for mini-os to support the xc_gnttab_*()
functions, the equivalent of gntdev in linux. This is useful for my
work in putting xenstored in a stub domain.

This adds fixes to the stub domain build into compiling Ian Jackson's
qemu-xen. The most notable change is that mini-os headers now
#include each other through a mini-os/ prefix, so that we can turn all
-I into -isystem and still be sure that we include Mini-OS headers
(and not qemu's console.h or blktaplib's list.h for instance...).

This makes stubdom use the host's gcc instead of downloading/compiling
binutils+gcc. That requires a bunch of changes and even uncovered a
few bugs, but saves a lot of time.

Add PV-GRUB
This fetches GRUB1 sources, applies the {graphical, print function,
save default, and ext3_256byte} patches from debian, and applies a
patch to make it work on x86_64 and port it to Mini-OS. By using
libxc, PV-GRUB can then "kexec" the loaded kernel from inside the
