This series adds support for the libxl migration v2 stream, and untangles the
existing layering violations of the toolstack and qemu records.

At the end of the series, legacy migration is no longer used.

Note: Remus support is broken and (RFC) fixed in separate patches in this
series.  It was too tangled to fix in a bisectable fashon.  Plain
suspend/migrate/resume however is (should be) bisectable along the entire
series.

There are a couple of outstanding questions:

1) What to do about the toolstack/xenstore record.  It is currently by being
   passed around as a blob, but it might be better to split it out.

2) What (if any) ABI/API qualifications are needed? (Particularly in reference
   to patch 21)

The Remus code is untested by me, but is hopefully in the correct ballpark.
All other combinations of suspend/migrate/resume have been tested with PV and
HVM guests (qemu-trad and qemu-upstream), including 32 -> 64 bit migration
(which was the underlying bug causing us to write migration v2 in the first
place).

There are some further improvements which could be made.  In particular, it
appears that sending the toolstack record on each checkpoint is redundant, and
there is certainly room for some more pruning of the legacy migration code.

Anyway, thoughts/comments welcome.  Please test!
