a44f1f85f9 xenconfig: produce key=value disk config syntax in xl formatter
The most formal form of xl disk configuration uses key=value
syntax to define each configuration item, e.g.

format=raw, vdev=xvda, access=rw, backendtype=phy, target=disksrc

Change the xl disk formatter to produce this syntax, which allows
target= to contain meta info needed to setup a network-based
disksrc (e.g. rbd, nbd, iscsi). For details on xl disk config
format, see  $xen-src/docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt

Update the disk config in the tests to use the formal syntax.
But add tests to ensure disks specified with the positional
parameter syntax are correctly converted to <disk> XML.

5b74103b0b Xen: support maxvcpus in xm and xl config
From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>

xend prior to 4.0 understands vcpus as maxvcpus and vcpu_avail
as a bit map of which cpus are online (default is all).

xend from 4.0 onwards understands maxvcpus as maxvcpus and
vcpus as the number which are online (from 0..N-1). The
upstream commit (68a94cf528e6 "xm: Add maxvcpus support")
claims that if maxvcpus is omitted then the old behaviour
(i.e. obeying vcpu_avail) is retained, but AFAICT it was not,
in this case vcpu==maxcpus==online cpus. This is good for us
because handling anything else would be fiddly.

This patch changes parsing of the virDomainDef maxvcpus and vcpus
entries to use the corresponding 'maxvcpus' and 'vcpus' settings
from xm and xl config. It also drops use of the old Xen 3.x
'vcpu_avail' setting.

The change also removes the maxvcpus limit of MAX_VIRT_VCPUS (since
maxvcpus is simply a count, not a bit mask), which is particularly
crucial on ARM where MAX_VIRT_CPUS == 1 (since all guests are
expected to support vcpu placement, and therefore only the boot
vcpu's info lives in the shared info page).

Existing tests adjusted accordingly, and new tests added for the
'maxvcpus' setting.
