Paul Bolle 395cf9691d doc: fix broken references
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

Rusty Russell e22a539824 lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to
the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr.  If that's 0, it
tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code
to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'.

The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing
setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

Rusty Russell 3c3ed482dc lguest: Simplify device initialization.
We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status.  However,
it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to
initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation.

In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the
status byte before starting the device service threads.  But this
corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which
might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device.  So we
had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the
threads anyway.

Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that
point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have
acked.  On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and
start servicing the device.

Sakari Ailus e0377e2520 lguest: Do not exit on non-fatal errors
Do not exit on some non-fatal errors:

- writev() fails in net_output(). The result is a lost packet or packets.
- writev() fails in console_output(). The result is partially lost console
output.
- readv() fails in net_input(). The result is a lost packet or packets.

Rather than bringing the guest down, this patch ignores e.g. an allocation
failure on the host side. Example:

lguest: page allocation failure. order:4, mode:0x4d0
Pid: 4045, comm: lguest Tainted: G        W   2.6.36 #1
