blocked this from landing.)

Merge "Updated from global requirements"
XenAPI: Speedup host_ref cannot change - get it once

The host we run on is fixed - getting this each time from XAPI
is expensive

XenAPI: get_info was very expensive

Getting the whole VM record is expensive and slowed down Tempest tests
significantly.  Replaced with getting each required item.

When getting power state, only need that specific value, so reduce the
calls to get_info too.

XenAPI: Tidy calls to get_all_ref_and_rec

get_all_records is more efficient than getting them individually in the
old get_all_ref_and_rec implementation.

Replaced some cases of get_all_records with a faster and more
specific API call.

XenAPI: Speedup get_vhd_parent_uuid

In many cases the VDI record has already been retrieved.
Use it rather than expensively getting a new VDI record from XAPI.

XenAPI: Use get_VALUE in preference to get_record()['VALUE']

Replaces calls to get_record where only a single item is retrieved
from the record with the specific get_VALUE call.

XenAPI: Synchronize on all VBD plug/unplug per VM

Dynamically adding or removing a device needs to be synchronized
to work around a bug in XenServer 6.1 and 6.2 where simultaneous
events can be partially ignored, leading to a failure to plug or
unplug.

Change I041365ed863a1a1c55e88025dff42d01c35494a2 attempted to
work around the issue by retrying - however that does not catch
all failures.  This change should eliminate some of the known
INTERNAL_ERROR failures, but not all, so I041 should not be
reverted.

Change Ie7a64c481a9e3874df9d5924fbb050ac7ab117db does the same
as this, but only for VBD.plug.

XenAPI: Monitor the GC when coalescing

Add a new host plugin to monitor whether the garbage collector is running.
This is then used by the wait_for_vhd_coalesce function to know whether
waiting any more is likely to produce the expected results.

Increased the number of times we loop waiting for coalesce as the loop
now has knowledge that something is still happening.

XenAPI: Use direct IO for writing config drive

If you don't use direct IO when writing to the device, the unplug
immediately following this may not succeed as the device may still
be in use.

Also add a sync to ensure the device is not being used at the point
of unplug
