[Xen-devel] [PATCH v11 7/9] tools: Add vmware_port support

[Don Slutz <dslutz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This new libxl_domain_create_info field is used to set
XEN_DOMCTL_CONFIG_VMWARE_PORT_MASK in the xc_domain_configuration_t
for x86.

In xen it is is_vmware_port_enabled.

If is_vmware_port_enabled then
  enable a limited support of VMware's hyper-call.

VMware's hyper-call is also known as VMware Backdoor I/O Port.

if vmware_port is not specified in the config file, let
"vmware_hwver != 0" be the default value.  This means that only
vmware_hwver = 7 needs to be specified to enable both features.

vmware_hwver = 7 is special because that is what controls the
enable of CPUID leaves for VMware (vmware_hwver >= 7).

Note: vmware_port and nestedhvm cannot be specified at the
same time.

v11:
  Dropped "If non-zero then default VGA to VMware's VGA"

v10:
    If..." at the start of the sentence ...
    Also, why is 7 special?
