A recent Xen commit [1] clarified the semantics of sector based quantities
used in the blkif protocol such that it is now safe to create a xen-block
device with a logical_block_size != 512, as long as the device only
connects to a frontend advertizing 'feature-large-block-size'.
This patch modifies xen-block accordingly. It also uses a stack variable
for the BlockBackend in xen_block_realize() to avoid repeated dereferencing
of the BlockConf pointer, and changes the parameters of
xen_block_dataplane_create() so that the BlockBackend pointer and sector
size are passed expicitly rather than implicitly via the BlockConf.
These modifications have been tested against a recent Windows PV XENVBD
driver [2] using a xen-disk device with a 4kB logical block size.

This adds a new parameter to blk_new() which requires its callers to
declare from which AioContext this BlockBackend is going to be used (or
the locks of which AioContext need to be taken anyway).
The given context is only stored and kept up to date when changing
AioContexts. Actually applying the stored AioContext to the root node
is saved for another commit.

The Xen blkif protocol requires that sector based quantities should be
interpreted strictly as multiples of 512 bytes. Specifically:
"first_sect and last_sect in blkif_request_segment, as well as
sector_number in blkif_request, are always expressed in 512-byte units."
Commit fcab2b464e "xen: add header and build dataplane/xen-block.c"
incorrectly modified behaviour to use the block device logical_block_size
property as the scale, instead of correctly shifting values by the
hardcoded BDRV_SECTOR_BITS (and hence scaling them to 512 byte units).
This patch undoes that change and restores compliance with the spec.
Furthermore, this patch also restores the original xen_disk behaviour
of advertizing a hardcoded 'sector-size' value of 512 in xenstore and
scaling 'sectors' accordingly. The realize() method is also modified to
fail if logical_block_size is set to anything other than 512.

...and properly enable it when synthesizing a drive.
The Xen toolstack sets 'discard-enable' to '1' in xenstore when it wants
to enable discard on a specified image. The code in
xen_block_drive_create() correctly parses this and uses it to set
'discard' to 'unmap' for the file_layer, but fails to do the same for the
driver_layer (which effectively disables it). Meanwhile the code in
xen_block_realize() advertizes discard support to the frontend in the
default case (because conf->discard_granularity defaults to -1), even when
the underlying image may not handle it.
This patch adds the missing option to the driver_layer in
xen_block_driver_create() and checks whether BDRV_O_UNMAP is actually
set on the block device before advertizing discard to the frontend.
In the case that discard is supported it also makes sure that the
granularity is set to the physical block size.

While in the neighbourhood free 'driver' and 'filename' as soon as they are
added to the QDicts. Freeing after the 'done' label doesn't make that much
sense as, if the error path jumps to that label, the values would be NULL
anyway.
This patch also makes that more obvious by taking the error path if
'params' is NULL and then asserting that both driver and filename are
non-NULL in the normal path.

This patch adds create and destroy function for XenBlockDevice-s so that
they can be created automatically when the Xen toolstack instantiates a new
PV backend via xenstore. When the XenBlockDevice is created this way it is
also necessary to create a 'drive' which matches the configuration that the
Xen toolstack has written into xenstore. This is done by formulating the
parameters necessary for each 'blockdev' layer of the drive and then using
qmp_blockdev_add() to create the layers. Also, for compatibility with the
legacy 'xen_disk' implementation, an iothread is automatically created for
the new XenBlockDevice. This, like the driver layers, will be destroyed
after the XenBlockDevice is unrealized.
The legacy backend scan for 'qdisk' is removed by this patch, which makes
the 'xen_disk' code is redundant. The code will be removed by a subsequent
patch.

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 new XenDevice-s: 'xen-disk' and 'xen-cdrom', both derived
from a common 'xen-block' parent type. These will eventually replace the
'xen_disk' (note the underscore rather than hyphen) legacy PV backend but
it is illustrative to build up the implementation incrementally, along with
the XenBus/XenDevice framework. Subsequent patches will therefore add to
these devices' implementation as new features are added to the framework.
After this patch has been applied it is possible to instantiate new
'xen-disk' or 'xen-cdrom' devices with a single 'vdev' parameter, which
accepts values adhering to the Xen VBD naming scheme [1]. For example, a
command-line instantiation of a xen-disk can be done with an argument
similar to the following:
-device xen-disk,vdev=hda
The implementation of the vdev parameter formulates the appropriate VBD
number for use in the PV protocol.
