[Xen-devel] [PATCH 00/12] Replace Xen xl parsing/formatting impl

[Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@xxxxxxxx>]

The first attempt to implement support for parsing/formatting Xen's
xl disk config format copied Xen's flex-based parser into libvirt, which
has proved to be challenging in the context of autotools.  But as it turns
out, Xen provides an interface to the parser via libxlutil.

This series reverts the first attempt, along with subsequent attempts to
fix it, and replaces it with an implementation based on libxlutil.  The
first nine patches revert the original implementation and subsequent fixes.
Patch 10 provides an implemenation based on libxlutil.  Patches 11 and
12 are basically unchanged from patches 3 and 4 in the first attempt.

One upshot of using libxlutil instead of copying the flex source is
removing the potential for source divergence.
