Hi all,
this patch series adds some new memory management functions to libxl
that are used by xl to autoballoon dom0 down by the amount of memory
needed by the new domain build.
In order to avoid conflicts with other xl instances during the memory
accounting operation I am introducing a global filelock.
I am also introducing a global configuration file for xl to
enable/disable autoballooning.

Changes compares to v3:

- following the discussion on xen-devel I decided to keep max_memkb and
the enforce parameter to libxl_set_memory_target;

- I removed libxl_set_relative_memory_target and added a relative flag
to libxl_set_memory_target instead;

- I added a document that explain the libxl domain memory model;

- I added a small patch to avoid changing static-max after domain
creation;

- I added a small patch to parse the maxmem option in VM config files.

Cheers,

Stefano
