If xen_backend_device_create() fails to instantiate a device, the XenBus
code will just keep trying over and over again each time the bus is
re-enumerated, as long as the backend appears online and in
XenbusStateInitialising.
The only thing which prevents the XenBus code from recreating duplicates
of devices which already exist, is the fact that xen_device_realize()
sets the backend state to XenbusStateInitWait. If the attempt to create
the device doesn't get *that* far, that's when it will keep getting
retried.
My first thought was to handle errors by setting the backend state to
XenbusStateClosed, but that doesn't work for XenConsole which wants to
*ignore* any device of type != "ioemu" completely.
So, make xen_backend_device_create() *keep* the XenBackendInstance for a
failed device, and provide a new xen_backend_exists() function to allow
xen_bus_type_enumerate() to check whether one already exists before
creating a new one.

Currently a single watch on /local/domain/X/backend is registered by each
QEMU process running in service domain X (where X is usually 0). The purpose
of this watch is to ensure that QEMU is notified when the Xen toolstack
creates a new device backend area.
Such a backend area is specific to a single frontend area created for a
specific guest domain and, since each QEMU process is also created to service
a specfic guest domain, it is unnecessary and inefficient to notify all QEMU
processes.
Only the QEMU process associated with the same guest domain need
receive the notification. This patch re-factors the watch registration code
such that notifications are targetted appropriately.

If we want to check error after errp-function call, we need to
introduce local_err and then propagate it to errp. Instead, use
the ERRP_GUARD() macro, benefits are:
1. No need of explicit error_propagate call
2. No need of explicit local_err variable: use errp directly
3. ERRP_GUARD() leaves errp as is if it's not NULL or
&error_fatal, this means that we don't break error_abort
(we'll abort on error_set, not on error_propagate)
If we want to add some info to errp (by error_prepend() or
error_append_hint()), we must use the ERRP_GUARD() macro.
Otherwise, this info will not be added when errp == &error_fatal
(the program will exit prior to the error_append_hint() or
error_prepend() call). No such cases are being fixed here.

...that maintains compatibility with existing Xen toolstacks.
Xen toolstacks instantiate PV backends by simply writing information into
xenstore and expecting a backend implementation to be watching for this.
This patch adds a new 'xen-backend' module to allow individual XenDevice
implementations to register create and destroy functions. The creator
will be called when a tool-stack instantiates a new backend in this way,
and the destructor will then be called after the resulting XenDevice
object is unrealized.
To support this it is also necessary to add new watchers into the XenBus
implementation to handle enumeration of new backends and also destruction
of XenDevice-s when the toolstack sets the backend 'online' key to 0.
NOTE: This patch only adds the framework. A subsequent patch will add a
creator function for xen-block devices.
