The xenops daemon
This is an attempt to improve the architecture of the XCP toolstack by splitting *domain management* into a separate service, known as the *xenops daemon*. This should have the following advantages:
- it helps untangle the domain management code from the rest of xapi (which will focus on multi-host resource pool management)
- it forces us to be explicit about the interface xapi needs, making the future libxl port more predictable and likely to succeed
- it forces us to be explicit about the interface xenopsd needs, preventing (for example) the accidental insertion of a expensive RPC to a remote host through an internal xapi interface in a hot codepath.
