The rsync command called by Xapi_sync.sync_host was given the -v (verbose) option, which made it spew tens of thousands of lines into the xensource.log file. I removed the -v option and added --stats in order to keep the file transfer summaries in the output.

CA-47556: Revert to PV template for RHEL 6 64 bit for now
From ticket description:
See CP-1876 - RH have changed their kernel to require an option to use PV on HVM.
We currently have no way to set that option ourselves so would rely on the customer
doing it which they will be very unlikely to do in most cases. Also it's not easy
to switch from emulated drivers to PV therefore the chances are customers will end
up with a poorly performing fully HVM VM.
For RTM I suggest we revert to using the PV template for 64 bit (just like we do
for 32 bit). This is a simple revert of the template code.
Long term we want to move to HVM to avoid the performance penalty of 64 bit PV but
RH6 isn't quite ready yet. This could be a change we make when we turn RH6 support
into fully supported, rather than experimental, in a future LCM update

CA-41553: Fix logic bugs in vm_install_real and do some code cleanup
There were two logic bugs in vm_install_real
* When user create a VM based on a snapshot (which is also considered as a template from XenServer point of view), and neither sr-name-lable or sr-uuid is specified (neither is wanted any way), the code will fail if the pool doesn't have default SR set (which is not necessary as well). This is the problem spot in CA-41553.
* When both sr-uuid and sr-name-lable are specified in command line at the same time
- If there is some contradiction, say the SR with sr-uuid doesn't have the name as specified in sr-name-label, XenServer will only take sr-name-label into consideration and ignore sr-uuid without a warning
- If sr-name-label corresponding to several SRs in the system, instead of using the sr-uuid information to restrict the candidate to one, XenServer will simply fail and complain "Multiple SRs with that name-label found".
xapi was failing nastily on start-up if the xensource-inventory file was
missing. Now it generates a minimal one if none exists. This does not include
a build number, so version.ml now falls back to using a build number from the
Make environment if one is not available from the inventory, i.e. it falls
back to the behaviour from before Matthias's commit for CA-43574 (build number
from xensource-inventory).

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the default 1 KiB block size provided by Unixext.read_in_chunks causes write throughput to be very slow on some storage substrates.
Some (not massively scientific) timings of dd from /dev/zero to a block-attached VDI on various SR types agree with this observation. The data below shows that 4 KiB is the minimum block size that should be considered for use: throughput it universally higher above this threshold and often substantially lower below it. We'll default to 16 KiB to be on the safe side.

CA-42914: Deal with unexpected closure of data socket caused by exception in block_device_io
Previously, the closing of the data socket causes xapi's code that writes database to an fd to raise Sys_error("Connection reset by peer").
Instead, we can safely ignore the unexpected closing of the data socket and wait until we hear what happened over the control socket. Any exception that may be raised during transfer_data_from_sock_to_fd in block_device_io (that causes the data socket to be prematurely closed) gets caught in the exception handlers in action_writedb that call send_failure. So suppress all Sys_error("Connection reset by peer") exceptions that xapi may raise during the writing of the database to the fd because full details should be forthcoming on the control socket.
