Subject: [PATCH 00/25] xl / libxl: named PCI pass-through devices

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

This series adds support for naming devices added to the assignable list
and then using a name (instead of a BDF) for convenience when attaching
a device to a domain.

The first 15 patches are cleanup. The remaining 10 modify documentation
and add the new functionality.

Paul Durrant (25):
  xl / libxl: s/pcidev/pci and remove DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_STRUCT_X
  libxl: use LIBXL_DEFINE_DEVICE_LIST for pci devices
  libxl: use LIBXL_DEFINE_DEVICE_LIST for nic devices
  libxl: s/domainid/domid/g in libxl_pci.c
  libxl: s/detatched/detached in libxl_pci.c
  libxl: remove extraneous arguments to do_pci_remove() in libxl_pci.c
  libxl: stop using aodev->device_config in libxl__device_pci_add()...
  libxl: generalise 'driver_path' xenstore access functions in
    libxl_pci.c
  libxl: remove unnecessary check from libxl__device_pci_add()
  libxl: remove get_all_assigned_devices() from libxl_pci.c
  libxl: make sure callers of libxl_device_pci_list() free the list
    after use
  libxl: add libxl_device_pci_assignable_list_free()...
  libxl: use COMPARE_PCI() macro is_pci_in_array()...
  libxl: add/recover 'rdm_policy' to/from PCI backend in xenstore
  libxl: Make sure devices added by pci-attach are reflected in the
    config
  docs/man: extract documentation of PCI_SPEC_STRING from the xl.cfg
    manpage...
  docs/man: improve documentation of PCI_SPEC_STRING...
  docs/man: fix xl(1) documentation for 'pci' operations
  libxl: introduce 'libxl_pci_bdf' in the idl...
  libxlu: introduce xlu_pci_parse_spec_string()
  libxl: modify
    libxl_device_pci_assignable_add/remove/list/list_free()...
  docs/man: modify xl(1) in preparation for naming of assignable devices
  xl / libxl: support naming of assignable devices
  docs/man: modify xl-pci-configuration(5) to add 'name' field to
    PCI_SPEC_STRING
  xl / libxl: support 'xl pci-attach/detach' by name
