Jim Fehlig 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.

         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.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
