[PATCH 2/2] tools: utility to dump guest grant table info

[Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com>]

As both xen-netfront and xen-blkfront support multi-queue, they would
consume a lot of grant table references when there are many paravirtual
devices and vcpus assigned to guest. Guest domU might panic or hang due to
grant allocation failure when nr_grant_frames in guest has reached its max
value.

This utility would help the administrators to monitor the guest grant table
frame usage on dom0 side so that it is not required to debug on guest
kernel side for crash/hang analysis anymore.
