Re: [PATCH v16 1/4] xen/domain: unify domain ID allocation

Currently, there are two different domain ID allocation implementations:

   1) Sequential IDs allocation in dom0less Arm code based on max_init_domid;

   2) Sequential IDs allocation in XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain; does not use
      max_init_domid (both Arm and x86).

The domain ID allocation covers dom0 or late hwdom, predefined domains,
post-boot domains, excluding Xen system domains (domid >=
DOMID_FIRST_RESERVED).

It makes sense to have a common helper code for such task across architectures
(Arm and x86) and between dom0less / toolstack domU allocation.

Note, fixing dependency on max_init_domid is out of scope of this patch.

Wrap the domain ID allocation as an arch-independent function domid_alloc() in
new common/domid.c based on the bitmap.

Allocation algorithm:
- If an explicit domain ID is provided, verify its availability and use it if
   ID is not used;
- If DOMID_INVALID is provided, search the range [1..DOMID_FIRST_RESERVED-1],
   starting from the last used ID.
   Implementation guarantees that two consecutive calls will never return the
   same ID. ID#0 is reserved for the first boot domain (currently, dom0) and
   excluded from the allocation range.

Remove is_free_domid() helper as it is not needed now.

No functional change intended.

This was a good catch from Jan. Has a unit-test been added for this issue?

Anyway, my reviewed-by holds.
