[Xen-devel] [PATCH XEN v2 05/15] tools: Refactor /dev/xen/evtchn wrappers into libxenevtchn.



libxenevtchn will provide a stable API and ABI for accessing the
evtchn device.

The functions are moved into the xenevtchn namespace to make a clean
break from libxc and avoid ambiguity regarding which interfaces are
stable.

All in-tree users are updated to use the new names.

Upon request (via #define XC_WANT_COMPAT_EVTCHN_API) libxenctrl will
provide a compat API for the old names. This is used by qemu-xen for
the time being. qemu-xen-traditional is updated in lockstep.

This leaves a few event channel related functions which go via privcmd
(EVTCHNOP) rather than ioctls on the /dev/xen/evtchn device in
libxenctrl. Specifically:

 - xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound
 - xc_evtchn_reset
 - xc_evtchn_status

Note that xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound's functionality is also provided by
xenevtchn_bind_unbound_port() (nÃe xc_evtchn_bind_unbound_port) and is
probably redundant.

These functions do not appear to be needed by qemu-dm, qemu-pv
(provision of device model to HVM guests and PV backends respectively)
or by libvchan suggesting they are not needed by non-toolstack uses of
event channels. QEMU does use these in hw/xenpv/xen_domainbuild.c but
that is a "toolstack use".

The new library uses a version script to ensure that only expected
symbols are exported and to version them such that ABI guarantees can
be kept in the future.

Must be applied with:

 - "qemu-xen-traditional: Use libxenevtchn" and a corresponding
   QEMU_TAG update folded here.
 - "mini-os: Include libxenevtchn with libxc"" and a corresponding
   bump to MINIOS_UPSTREAM_REVISION folded in here.

v2: Update doc at same time
    Removed some stray compat thing
