Introduce support for the "xen,domU" compatible node on device tree.
Create new DomU VMs based on the information found on device tree under
"xen,domU".
While I like the idea of having multiple domain created by Xen, I think there
are still few open questions here:
1) The domains will be listed via "xl list". So are they still
manageable via DOMCTL?
Yes, they are. There is an argument for making them "hidden" from
DOMCTLs, but that is not done as part of this series. Future work.
What will happen with libxl today? Is the toolstack going to be confused?
2) Is it possible to restart those domains?
No they can't be restarted. For example, their original kernel is gone
from memory.
So what will happen if you use "xl restart" on them?
3) If a domain crash, what will happen? Are they just going to sit
there using resources until the platform rebooted?
The entire platform needs to be rebooted.
That should be clarified somewhere in the documentation.
4) How do you handle scheduling? Is it still possible to do it via
Dom0? How about the dom0less situation?
The scheduler can be chosen via the Xen command line option. It is also
possible to do that from dom0 (if there is a dom0).
Can you explain how the vCPUs are going to get pinned via the command line?
Introduce a simple global variable named max_init_domid to keep track of
the initial allocated domids.
What is the exact goal of this new variable?
The goal of this variable is to know the number of domUs allocated at
boot time by Xen. Specifically, it is used by console.c to switch the
serial input to the right domU.
I don't think this is necessary. I will reply on the second version.
Move the discard_initial_modules after DomUs have been built

Please mention this move in the commit message.
It is mentioned: "Move the discard_initial_modules after DomUs have been

I missed that sorry.

There are quite a few field in xen_domctl_createdomain that we may want to
allow the user setting them. I am thinking of ssidref for XSM. How is this
going to be done?
We'll introduce a separate function to initialize the
xen_domctl_createdomain fields as necessary. I don't think it is
required at the moment?
I didn't ask the implementation but how this is going to fit together.

It is a good default. I haven't introduced an option to change the gic
version for a domU yet. It could be possible to add it in the future.
Please document it in somewhere.

Why do you set them? They are zeroed by default.
Mostly for my own clarity and understading. I can remove them if you
prefer.
I would rather remove it because it give the feeling the other fields
may not be zeroed.

Please introduce a new function, this would avoid to increate start_xen() too
much.
