This patch extends libvirt's XML to include a paramater Xen

supports in sexpr, "bootloader_args." The bootloader_args parameter lets
you pass arguments -- "mac=aa:12:34:56:78:90" for example -- to a
bootloader program that xend invokes when it starts a guest. One such
program, pypxeboot, uses the mac= argument to communicate with a dhcp
server and retrieve the pxeboot kernel and initrd for a paravirt guest.
The patch includes new tests for the bootloader_args XML and sexpr,
which pass.
Note that for the head of current libvirt, the virsh tests do not pass
and virsh will not connect to the xen hypervisor. I don't know if this
is my own build environment or some other issue. However the failure is
the same with or without this patch, so I am submitting it anyway.
Please let me know what you think...
Looks good to me.
Did you find out what was causing the build problems (ie. beyond just NFS)?
Rich.
