[Xen-devel] [PATCH 07/12 v4] tools/pygrub: store kernels in /var/run/xen/pygrub

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Move location of temporary bootfiles from /var/run/xend/boot to
/var/run/xen/pygrub. Create the subdirectory if does not exist, unless
--output-directory=<dir> was specified.

The reason for this change is that all entrys below /var/run have to be
created at runtime in case /var/run is cleared on every boot.

v4:
 update mkdir exception handling
v3:
 use /var/run/xen/pygrub instead of /var/run/pygrub
v2:
 update exception handling for python 2.4
