This solves a long-standing issue in which the pages backing these rings were
pages belonging to dom0 user-space processes. Thus, if the process would die
unexpectedly, Xen would keep posting events to a page now belonging to some
other process.
We update all API-consumers in tree (xenpaging and xen-access).
This is an API/ABI change, so please speak up if it breaks your accumptions.
The patch touches tools, hypervisor x86/hvm bits, and hypervisor x86/mm bits.

Don't use the superfluous shared page, return the event channel directly as
part of the domctl struct, instead.
In-tree consumers (xenpaging, xen-access) updated. This is an ABI/API change,
so please voice any concerns.
Known pending issues:
- pager could die and its ring page could be used by some other process, yet
Xen retains the mapping to it.
- use a saner interface for the paging_load buffer.
This change also affects the x86/mm bits in the hypervisor that process the
mem_event setup domctl.

Per page operations in the paging, sharing, and access tracking subsystems are
all implemented with domctls (e.g. a domctl to evict one page, or to share one
page).
Under heavy load, the domctl path reveals a lack of scalability. The domctl
lock serializes dom0's vcpus in the hypervisor. When performing thousands of
per-page operations on dozens of domains, these vcpus will spin in the
hypervisor. Beyond the aggressive locking, an added inefficiency of blocking
vcpus in the domctl lock is that dom0 is prevented from re-scheduling any of
its other work-starved processes.
We retain the domctl interface for setting up and tearing down
paging/sharing/mem access for a domain. But we migrate all the per page
operations to use the memory_op hypercalls (e.g XENMEM_*).

Up to now a single ring buffer was used for mem_share, xenpaging and
xen-access. Each helper would have to cooperate and pull only its own
requests from the ring. Unfortunately this was not implemented. And
even if it was, it would make the whole concept fragile because a crash
or early exit of one helper would stall the others.
What happend up to now is that active xenpaging + memory_sharing would
push memsharing requests in the buffer. xenpaging is not prepared for
such requests.
This patch creates an independet ring buffer for mem_share, xenpaging
and xen-access and adds also new functions to enable xenpaging and
xen-access. The xc_mem_event_enable/xc_mem_event_disable functions will
be removed. The various XEN_DOMCTL_MEM_EVENT_* macros were cleaned up.
Due to the removal the API changed, so the SONAME will be changed too.

tools/libxc, tools/libelf: Relicense under LGPL v2.1
Relicense these two libraries under LGPL v2.1 only except where
individual files already included the "or later" provision.
Copyright holders have been contacted by Stephen Spector and have all
agreed this change.
Removed tools/libxc/ia64/aclinux.h since it appeared to be
unused. There is a separate, more up to date, copy in
xen/include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h which does appear to be used.
Clarify the license of MiniOS privcmd.h under the same terms as other
tools/include/xen-sys headers.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.
