[PATCH 1/8] tools/xenstored: allow domU to get own features

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Expand the XS_GET_FEATURE command to allow an unprivileged domain to
read its own available features. While this information is available
via the related field in the shared page used for communication with
Xenstore, user land components of the domU would need special support
in the related kernel driver to obtain that data. With supporting the
XS_GET_FEATURE for that purpose, only an up to date libxenstore is
needed.
