[Xen-devel] [OSSTEST PATCH 13/26] selecthost: Support nested hosts (guests which are also hosts)

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We introduce a new syntax: instead of a hostname (which might appear
in a command line argument to a ts-* script and hence be passed to
selecthost, or which might be in a runvar), we now support
<hostspec>:<domname>.

Such `hosts' (let us refer to such a thing as an L1, although in
principle further nesting may be possible) are expected to be
dynamically created.  So they do not have flags and properties in the
configuration (or in an Executive instance's database).

The IP address is determined dynamically from the leases file.  If the
L1 is not running, then no IP address may be found.  This is not an
error.  Users of this facility will need to make sure that ts-*
scripts which are unaware of the L1's special status are only invoked
when it is known that the L1 is up and has obtained its IP address.

`Power cycling' the L1 will be done by VM control operations in the
L0; this will come in a subsequent patch.

`Serial access' to the L1 guest will likewise need to be done via the
console arrangements in L0.
