[XenPPC] [PATCH 0/10][TOOLS][XM-TEST] [v3] Update xm-test to support new architectures

[Tony Breeds <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
        These patches update the xm-test code to be more easily portable
to new architecture. This focus of this endeavor is PPC but I believe
that IA64 also benefits.

Patch summary:

  1: Instead of using a dated snapshot (which no longer exists)
     use buildroot-snapshot.
  2: Remove hardcoded references to i386.
  3: Rename configs/buildroot -> configs/buildroot-i386
     and update Makefiles.
  4: Update .hgignore to remove noise from the initrd building process
  5: Refactor the XmTestLib and XmTestReport code to encapsulate all
     platform variations in one place.
  6: Add powerpc definitions.
  7: Allow inspection of boot buffers.
     Check for BUG()s and the like if wanted.
  8: Update .hgignore
  9: Treat the "extra" config item as special and always append to it.
     Needed for PPC, as the console is passed via the kernel command line.
 10: Fix memory assumptions.
     Several of the create tests have ideas about minimal memory footprints,
     correct these assumptions.

I've tested these patches on PPC and x86_32 with no regressions.
With patches 1-6 applied it's simple enough to build a initrd for powerpc on
and i386 machine:
-=-=-
cd .../tools/xm-test
./autogen
./configure
cd ramdisk
make BR_ARCH=powerpc
-=-=-

As discussed previously it'd be great if an initrd and buildroot tarball
could be hosted on xensource.
