7d7c08be1c Xen: xenconfig: remove xendConfigVersion from public functions
Remove use of xendConfigVersion in the xm and xl config formatter/parsers
in src/xenconfig/. Adjust callers in the xen and libxl drivers accordingly.

91a00424db xen: use virDomainDefPostParse for parsing XM/XL/SEXPR cofings
This change ensures to call driver specific post-parse code to modify
domain definition after parsing hypervisor config the same way we do
after parsing XML.

4689cdf779 Introduce support for parsing/formatting Xen xl config format
Introduce a parser/formatter for the xl config format.  Since the
deprecation of xm/xend, the VM config file format has diverged as
new features are added to libxl.  This patch adds support for parsing
and formating the xl config format.  It supports the existing xm config
format, plus adds support for spice graphics and xl disk config syntax.

Disk config is specified a bit differently in xl as compared to xm.  In
xl, disk config consists of comma-separated positional parameters and
keyword/value pairs separated by commas. Positional parameters are
specified as follows

   target, format, vdev, access

Supported keys for key=value options are

  devtype, backendtype

The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form.  For
example the following xl disk config are equivalent

    /dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
    /dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
    format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume

See $xen_sources/docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt for more details.

xl disk config is parsed with the help of xlu_disk_parse() from
libxlutil, libxl's utility library.  Although the library exists
in all Xen versions supported by the libxl virt driver, only
recently has the corresponding header file been included.  A check
for the header is done in configure.ac.  If not found, xlu_disk_parse()
is declared externally.

2c78051a14 src/xenconfig: Xen-xl parser
Introduce a Xen xl parser

This parser allows for users to convert the new xl disk format and
spice graphics config to libvirt xml format and vice versa. Regarding
the spice graphics config, the code is pretty much straight forward.
For the disk {formating, parsing}, this parser takes care of the new
xl format which include positional parameters and key/value parameters.
In xl format disk config a <diskspec> consists of parameters separated by
commas. If the parameters do not contain an '=' they are automatically
assigned to certain options following the order below

   target, format, vdev, access

The above are the only mandatory parameters in the <diskspec> but there
are many more disk config options. These options can be specified as
key=value pairs. This takes care of the rest of the options such as

  devtype, backend, backendtype, script, direct-io-safe,

The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form
for example

    /dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
    /dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
    format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume

are interpleted to one config.

In xm format, the above diskspec would be written as

phy:/dev/vg/guest-volume,hda,w

The disk parser is based on the same parser used successfully by
the Xen project for several years now.  Ian Jackson authored the
scanner, which is used by this commit with mimimal changes.  Only
the PREFIX option is changed, to produce function and file names
more consistent with libvirt's convention.
