Hi everyone,

I submitted some of the patches in this series before, as a part of the first
RFC of the NUMA memory migration feature. While preparing another round of it,
I thought there is enough 'meat' already for a separate series.

Basically, there are a few places in libxc where we issue do_domctl()-s
directly, instead of using the proper xc_xxx() wrapper. This make the code
bigger, redundant, more difficult to understand (e.g., "why xc_xxx() is called
here and is not called there?"), less consistent and less grep-able. The first
4 patches of this series address this.

The last one introduce a little tool I'm using for debugging. It allows one to
see the M2P of the host, the P2M of a domain, some info about the PTEs, and
perform basic searches and comparisons on them. I'm finding it very useful and,
although I do not claim for my situation to be that common, I figured it could
be nice to have it in the tree, so that is patch 6. Patch 5 is the small
rework/additions necessary to make 6 possible.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
