As of c/s 20640 all your Xen patches are checked in. I modified them a bit
so you may want to take a look. I commented out the one line that actually
sets the new qemu option, until that option is supported by our qemu. I
think there is a question over whether the new qemu option should (a) have a
better name (I called it vcpu_online[] in hvm_info structure); and (b)
should have a more user-friendly format (currently passing a decimal number
interpreted as a bitmap - perhaps should be a list of vcpus instead).
