[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 7/8] xl/libxl: implement QDISK libxl_device_disk_local_attach

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

- Spawn a QEMU instance at boot time to handle disk local attach
requests.

- Implement libxl_device_disk_local_attach for QDISKs in terms of a
regular disk attach with the frontend and backend running in the same
domain.

Chanegs in v5:
- replace LIBXL__LOG with LOG.

Changes on v4:
- improve error handling and exit paths in libxl__device_disk_local_attach.
