...that maintains compatibility with existing Xen toolstacks.
Xen toolstacks instantiate PV backends by simply writing information into
xenstore and expecting a backend implementation to be watching for this.
This patch adds a new 'xen-backend' module to allow individual XenDevice
implementations to register create and destroy functions. The creator
will be called when a tool-stack instantiates a new backend in this way,
and the destructor will then be called after the resulting XenDevice
object is unrealized.
To support this it is also necessary to add new watchers into the XenBus
implementation to handle enumeration of new backends and also destruction
of XenDevice-s when the toolstack sets the backend 'online' key to 0.
NOTE: This patch only adds the framework. A subsequent patch will add a
creator function for xen-block devices.

...and wire in the dataplane.
This patch adds the remaining code to make the xen-block XenDevice
functional. The parameters that a block frontend expects to find are
populated in the backend xenstore area, and the 'ring-ref' and
'event-channel' values specified in the frontend xenstore area are
mapped/bound and used to set up the dataplane.

A Xen PV frontend communicates its state to the PV backend by writing to
the 'state' key in the frontend area in xenstore. It is therefore
necessary for a XenDevice implementation to be notified whenever the
value of this key changes.
This patch adds code to do this as follows:
- an 'fd handler' is registered on the libxenstore handle which will be
triggered whenever a 'watch' event occurs
- primitives are added to xen-bus-helper to add or remove watch events
- a list of Notifier objects is added to XenBus to provide a mechanism
to call the appropriate 'watch handler' when its associated event
occurs
The xen-block implementation is extended with a 'frontend_changed' method,
which calls as-yet stub 'connect' and 'disconnect' functions when the
relevant frontend state transitions occur. A subsequent patch will supply
a full implementation for these functions.

This patch adds a new source module, xen-bus-helper.c, which builds on
basic libxenstore primitives to provide functions to create (setting
permissions appropriately) and destroy xenstore areas, and functions to
'printf' and 'scanf' nodes therein. The main xen-bus code then uses
these primitives [1] to initialize and destroy the frontend and backend
areas for a XenDevice during realize and unrealize respectively.
The 'xen-block' implementation is extended with a 'get_name' method that
returns the VBD number. This number is required to 'name' the xenstore
areas.
NOTE: An exit handler is also added to make sure the xenstore areas are
cleaned up if QEMU terminates without devices being unrealized.
[1] The 'scanf' functions are actually not yet needed, but they will be
needed by code delivered in subsequent patches.

This patch adds the basic boilerplate for a 'XenBus' object that will act
as a parent to 'XenDevice' PV backends.
A new 'XenBridge' object is also added to connect XenBus to the system bus.
The XenBus object is instantiated by a new xen_bus_init() function called
from the same sites as the legacy xen_be_init() function.
Subsequent patches will flesh-out the functionality of these objects.

In trace format '#' flag of printf is forbidden. Fix it to '0x%'.
This patch is created by the following:
check that we have a problem
> find . -name trace-events | xargs grep '%#' | wc -l
56
check that there are no cases with additional printf flags before '#'
> find . -name trace-events | xargs grep "%[-+ 0'I]+#" | wc -l
0
check that there are no wrong usage of '#' and '0x' together
> find . -name trace-events | xargs grep '0x%#' | wc -l
0
fix the problem
> find . -name trace-events | xargs sed -i 's/%#/0x%/g'
[Eric Blake noted that xargs grep '%[-+ 0'I]+#' should be xargs grep
"%[-+ 0'I]+#" instead so the shell quoting is correct.

This patch adds a command-line option (-xen-domid-restrict) which will
use the new libxendevicemodel API to restrict devicemodel [1] operations
to the specified domid. (Such operations are not applicable to the xenpv
machine type).
This patch also adds a tracepoint to allow successful enabling of the
restriction to be monitored.
[1] I.e. operations issued by libxendevicemodel. Operation issued by other
xen libraries (e.g. libxenforeignmemory) are currently still unrestricted
but this will be rectified by subsequent patches.
