Xen devel - Jun 2011 - [Patch] Fixes for xl support in xendomains start-up/shutdown script

Hi,

First time posting on the devel list so please accept my apologies for lack of 
etiquette or any faux pas I make.

Since using Xen 4.1 compiled from source, I noticed that the xendomains start-up
script was not behaving properly. A bit of a google revealed that an attempt had
been made patch it to use xl if available or fallback to xm, but this
wasn''t
enough to make the script work at the this point in time. Observations are that 
''xl list -l'' has introduced extra response information that
threw the script
because of false hits on some regex stuff. Also the header of the save/restore 
file seems to have changed. I tweaked the regex and edded an extra variable to 
compare against the new header text if using xl.

I haven''t thoroughly tested the patch against every combination of
domains
sysreq''d nor have a I tested for its backward compatibility with xm.
However,
for xl, it appears to work for auto starts, saves and restores. Tested against 
Xen 4.1.1 (thank-you and please keep up the good work) on Scientific Linux 6.0 
Dom0.

I also ought to state that I am not an expert in bash/regex/Xen so the patch may
not be the most elegant, etc.

Thanks for reading,
