The current definition for the MMAP_RESOURCE ioctl was wrong as it
didn't copy back the result to the caller. Fix the definition and also
remove the bogus attempt to copy the result in the implementation.
Note such copy back is only needed when querying the size of a
resource.

Use an interface compatible with the Linux one so that the user-space
libraries already using the Linux interface can be used without much
modifications.
This allows an open privcmd instance to limit against which domains it
can act upon.

Use an interface compatible with the Linux one so that the user-space
libraries already using the Linux interface can be used without much
modifications.
This allows user-space to make use of the dm_op family of hypercalls,
which are used by device models.

The interface is mostly the same as the Linux ioctl, so that we don't
need to modify the user-space libraries that make use of it.
The ioctl is just a proxy for the XENMEM_acquire_resource hypercall.

This device is only attached to priviledged domains, and allows the
toolstack to interact with Xen. The two functions of the privcmd
interface is to allow the execution of hypercalls from user-space, and
the mapping of foreign domain memory.

i386/include/xen/hypercall.h:
amd64/include/xen/hypercall.h:
- Introduce a function to make generic hypercalls into Xen.
xen/interface/xen.h:
xen/interface/memory.h:
- Import the new hypercall XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range used by
auto-translated guests to map memory from foreign domains.
dev/xen/privcmd/privcmd.c:
- This device has the following functions:
- Allow user-space applications to make hypercalls into Xen.
- Allow user-space applications to map memory from foreign domains,
this is accomplished using the newly introduced hypercall
(XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range).
xen/privcmd.h:
- Public ioctl interface for the privcmd device.
x86/xen/hvm.c:
- Remove declaration of hypercall_page, now it's declared in
hypercall.h.
conf/files:
- Add the privcmd device to the build process.
