introduce a 'passthrough' configuration option to xl.cfg...
...and hence the ability to disable IOMMU mappings, and control EPT sharing. This patch introduces a new 'libxl_passthrough' enumeration into libxl_domain_create_info. The value will be set by xl either when it parses a new 'passthrough' option in xl.cfg, or implicitly if there is passthrough hardware specified for the domain. If the value of the passthrough configuration option is 'disabled' then the XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_iommu flag will be clear in the xen_domctl_createdomain flags, thus allowing the toolstack to control whether the domain gets IOMMU mappings or not (where previously they were globally set). If the value of the passthrough configuration option is 'sync_pt' then a new 'iommu_opts' field in xen_domctl_createdomain will be set with the value XEN_DOMCTL_IOMMU_no_sharept. This will override the global default set in iommu_hap_pt_share, thus allowing the toolstack to control whether EPT sharing is used for the domain. If the value of passthrough is 'enabled' then xl will choose an appropriate default according to the type of domain and hardware support. NOTE: The 'iommu_memkb' overhead in libxl_domain_build_info will now only be set if passthrough is 'sync_pt' (or xl has chosen this mode as a default).
