Currently parameters of the hypervisor (e.g. console log level) can be
set via boot command line. Instead of having to reboot the system in
case another setting is desired, being able to modify many of those
parameters at runtime would be the better option.

This patch series addresses this by adding a new xl command
"xl set-parameters" which takes a string similar to the boot command
line as parameter and passes this string to the hypervisor which will
then use the same parsing infrastructure as for the command line in
order to apply the parameter settings.

As error checks for invalid parameters or parameter values have been
very sparse if present at all in the hypervisor, a major part of this
patch series addresses this problem first: all custom parameter parsing
functions are being changed to return success or an error. The main
parsing function tests for generic parameter value errors (like e.g.
overflow) or invalid parameters and issues a message in case an error
has been detected. Most error messages in the custom parsing functions
are removed then.

While not strictly required for runtime parameter modification I
believe an improved parameter validation is a win with or without the
runtime parameter modification support.

* Patches 1-38 are modifying the custom parameter parsing functions to
  return success or error
* Patch 39 adds generic parameter error tests in the core parameter
  parsing functions
* Patches 40-45 remove custom parsing function error messages
* Patches 46-51 add the runtime parameter modification support
* Patch 52 adds support for runtime modification of some console related
  parameters
