Merge citrix into master.
This was a somewhat difficult merge since there was a fair amount of superficially divergent development on the two branches, especially in the datapath. This has been build-tested against XenServer 5.5.0 and XenServer 5.7.0 build 15122. It has been booted and connected to XenCenter on 5.5.0. The merge revealed a couple of outstanding bugs, which will be fixed on citrix and then merged back into master.
