[PATCH 0/3] Add XML-RPC support to Xend

[Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>]

The following patches implement XML-RPC for Xend.  The first patch just 
adds a new server for Xend that exposes the same functions exposed by 
the S-Expression/HTTP server expect by XML-RPC.  There is no change to 
the code paths taken for any xm commands so it's a rather safe patch to 
include.

The second patch changes XendClient to use XML-RPC and makes a few 
subsequent changes to xm to know about the new exception types 
generated.  This changeset has been passing xm-test for the past couple 
weeks so I'm rather confident that it doesn't introduce any major 
regressions.

One thing to notice (from the attached diffstat output) is that there is 
a net reduction in SLOCs even though no functionality was removed.   
This is because XendClient was greatly simplified by using XML-RPC.
