Convert libxl driver to Xen 4.2
Based on a patch originally authored by Daniel De Graaf http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-05/msg00565.html This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2. Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is designated 'technology preview' only and is incompatible with Xen 4.2 libxl. Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend, for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver. (cherry picked from commit dfa1e1dd5325f3a6bc8865312cde557044bf0b93) Conflicts: src/libxl/libxl_conf.c - commit e5e8d5 not backported src/libxl/libxl_driver.c - commit 1c04f99 not backported
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
