Subject: libxl: fix migration of PV and PVH domUs with and without qemu
References: bsc#1079730, bsc#1098403, bsc#1111025
Upstream: not interested

If a domU has a qemu-xen instance attached, it is required to call qemus
"xen-save-devices-state" method. Without it, the receiving side of a PV or
PVH migration may be unable to lock the image:

xen be: qdisk-51712: xen be: qdisk-51712: error: Failed to get "write" lock
error: Failed to get "write" lock
xen be: qdisk-51712: xen be: qdisk-51712: initialise() failed
initialise() failed

To fix this bug, libxl__domain_suspend_device_model() and
libxl__domain_resume_device_model() have to be called not only for HVM,
but also if the active device_model is QEMU_XEN.

Unfortunately, libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault() hardcodes
b_info->device_model_version to QEMU_XEN if it does not know it any
better. This breaks domUs without a device_model. libxl__qmp_stop() would
wait 10 seconds in qmp_open() for a qemu that will never appear.  During
this long timeframe the domU remains in state paused on the sending side.
As a result network connections may be dropped. Once this bug is fixed as
well, by just removing that assumption, there is no code to actually
initialise b_info->device_model_version.

There is a helper function libxl__need_xenpv_qemu(), which is used in
various places to decide if any device_model has to be spawned. This
function can not be used as is, just to fill b_info->device_model_version,
because store_libxl_entry() was already called earlier. Update this
function to receive a domid to work with, instead of reading xenstore.

Rearrange the code and initialize b_info->device_model_version in
libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault() per DOMAIN_TYPE.

Update initiate_domain_create() to set b_info->device_model_version if it
was not set earlier, using the updated libxl__need_xenpv_qemu().

Use LIBXL_DEVICE_MODEL_VERSION_UNKNOWN for PV and PVH that
have no need for a device_model.

Update existing users of libxl__need_xenpv_qemu() to use
b_info->device_model_version for their check if a device_model is needed.
