[XEN PATCH v2 0/7] fix missing headers and static storage duration



The files touched by this series contain function or variable definitions with
no prior declaration visible, because it's inside an header that is not included
or it's not present anywhere. This is a risk in itself, but also violates
MISRA C:2012 Rule 8.4, which states the following:
"A compatible declaration shall be visible when an object or function with
external linkage is defined".

The resolution strategies are as follows:

1. make the functions/variables static
2. include the header that contains the compatible declaration, or add one in
   the header if that's not the case.

No functional change.

Additional notes:
- other cases, such as functions/variables used only in asm code will be 
possibly
  dealt with in future patches.
- functions in 'gcov_base.c' are deviated, since they are called only from code
  generated by gcc in a particular non-release build configuration;
- variables in 'xen/include/acpi/acglobal.h' are deviated temporarily, since
  it's uncertain whether modifying the include pattern to be compliant with the
        rule would introduce subtle bugs.

Changes in v2:
- Modified commit messages, with additional "Fixed" tags and mention that these
  are bugfixes
- Split patch 4/8 of the previous version
- Drop patch 7/8 of the previous version, because it's already addressed by this
  patch [1]
