Hi,

this is the first patch for domain save & restore.

This patch mainly deals with domain creation.  I have added a new hypercall: 
DOM0_DOMAIN_SETUP, which mainly build the physmap table.  This allows 
DOM0_GETMEMLIST to use gpfn and reads pte instead of walking through the 
dom_page list.  DOM0_GETMEMLIST is easier to use (IMHO, but read 
xc_ia64_stubs.c if you are not convinced :-)

Also, domain builder directly setup command line and other startup info, 
instead of using vcpu_set_context.  IMHO (again :-) this is more logical.
vcpu_set_context now only set registers (well, almost).

This patch should have zero impact for the user, but you must recompile the 
hypervisor, the kernel and the tools.

Tested by boot+halt  of domU and then of DomVTI.

Tristan.
