This patch adds a 'domid' field to libxl_domain_create_info and then
modifies do_domain_create() to use that value if it is valid. Any valid
domid will be checked against the retired domid list before being passed
to libxl__domain_make().
If the domid value is invalid then Xen will choose the domid, as before,
unless the value is the new special RANDOM_DOMID value added to the API.
This value instructs libxl__domain_make() to select a random domid value,
check it for validity, verify it does not match a retired domain, and then
pass it to Xen's XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain operation. If Xen determines that
it co-incides with an existing domain, a new random value will be
selected and the operation will be re-tried.

NOTE: libxl__logv() is also modified to only log valid domid values in
      messages rather than any domid, valid or otherwise, that is not
      INVALID_DOMID.

Casting to void * assumes little endian.  Using a temporary uint16_t
would avoid that assumption.  Also, masking down to 0x7fff would clear
the top bit which is never valid.

I think that's a fairly safe assumption as far as Xen goes...

...but, yes, that might be neater.

That seems like a bit of a layering violation and the check in libxl_domid_valid_guest() is going to cause a pretty fast turn round the loop if the top bit is set so masking is not going to gain that much.

Yeah, there isn't a define or constant exposed for 0x7fff, so masking
is a little dirty.  Since about ~half of random 16bit numbers will
have the high bit set, we'll have to read a second one.  My natural
instinct is to avoid those extra reads :)

Not really, there are technically nothing (other than bug fixes) 
preventing us to use a big endian guest on Xen on Arm.

I actually did play with big endian on Xen in the past and managed to 
get a guest running. The main annoying part is Linux as it is assuming 
to use the same endian as the hypervisor. But other OS may not have this 
issues...

The hypervisor itself is likely going to stay little endian, so does the 
interface. For the tools, we should aim to not introduce more assumption 
that the software will be little endian.
