Commit Message

An assertion in libxl__domain_make():

'soft_reset || *domid == INVALID_DOMID'

does not hold true for stub domain creation, where soft_reset is false
but the passed in domid == 0. This is easily fixed by changing the
initializer in libxl__spawn_stub_dm().

NOTE: The comment for XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain in domctl.h is changed to
      reflect reality.

I will wait until end of today in case others want to comment on the
domctl.h change.

I will also carry over Anthony's ack from v1 while committing.

Wei.

Surely, this change deserve to be in its own patch, isn't it?

Ideally I would want that too. But this patch is trivial so I'm not too
fussed either way.
