[Xen-devel] [PATCH V6 2/7] libxl_read_file_contents: add new entry to read sysfs file

[Chunyan Liu <cyliu@xxxxxxxx>]

Sysfs file has size=4096 but actual file content is less than that.
Current libxl_read_file_contents will treat it as error when file size
and actual file content differs, so reading sysfs file content with
this function always fails.

Add a new entry libxl_read_sysfs_file_contents to handle sysfs file
specially. It would be used in later pvusb work.

Changes:
  - read one more byte to check bigger size problem.
