[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 02/10] libxl: Get rid of support for QEMU_USER_BASE (xen-qemuuser-domidNN)

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>]

QEMU_USER_BASE allows a user to specify the UID to use when running
the devicemodel for a specific domain number.  Unfortunately, this is
not really practical: It requires nearly 32,000 entries in
/etc/passwd.  QEMU_USER_RANGE_BASE is much more practical.

Remove support for QEMU_USER_BASE.

NB that I've chosen not to update the xl.cfg man page at this time; it
needs a lot of other updates as well, which would be easier to do all
at once at the end.
