Add a new domctl API to initialize vpl011. It takes the GFN and console
backend domid as input and returns an event channel to be used for
sending and receiving events from Xen.

Xen will communicate with xenconsole using GFN as the ring buffer and
the event channel to transmit and receive pl011 data on the guest domain's
behalf.

Changes since v6:
- Renamed the vuart initialization function to a generic name xc_dom_vuart_init 
- Used domid_t as a type instead of uint32_t for domid
- Checking the vuart type explicitly against vpl011 enum value

Changes since v5:
- xc_dom_vpl011_init() will be compiled for both x86/arm architectures as there
  is nothing architecture specific in this function. This function will return 
  error when called for x86.
- Fixed coding style issues in libxl.

Changes since v4:
- Removed libxl__arch_domain_create_finish().
- Added a new function libxl__arch_build_dom_finish(), which is called at the last
  in libxl__build_dom(). This function calls the vpl011 initialization function now.

Changes since v3:
- Added a new arch specific function libxl__arch_domain_create_finish(), which
  calls the vpl011 initialization function. For x86 this function does not do
  anything.
- domain_vpl011_init() takes a pointer to a structure which contains all the 
  required information such as console_domid, gfn instead of passing parameters
  separately.
- Dropped a DOMCTL API defined for de-initializing vpl011 as that should be
  taken care when the domain is destroyed (and not dependent on userspace 
  libraries/applications).

Changes since v2:
- Replaced the DOMCTL APIs defined for get/set of event channel and GFN with 
  a set of DOMCTL APIs for initializing and de-initializing vpl011 emulation.

Please try to limit the amount of padding needed and make all remaining
padding fields explicit. That should then also make obvious that using
xen_pfn_t in domctl.h is not a good idea (the existing uses are bogus too
afaict - in the getpageframeinfo3 case the handler deals with the differing
width between 32- and 64-bit callers, and the cacheflush one is fine right
now only because it's ARM-only).

You were right, the indentation is wrong :). It is 8 spaces rather than 4.

NIT: You could avoid on level of indentation if you do:

if ( info->arch_arm.vuart != LIBXL_VUART_TYPE_SBSA_UART )
   return 0;

I think this one should be -EOPNOTSUPP.

Can we please avoid the number of nested if? Maybe by introducing a 
function to handle the domctl.

Please correct me if I understood your comment wrongly.

I believe you are referring to re-ordering the fields in the above
structure so that the structure size is minimised.
Should I use type as unsigned long instead of xen_pfn_t in this structure?

Yes.

No, uint64_aligned_t is what you want.
