Bastian Blank 2fb3683e7b xen: Add xenbus device driver
Access to xenbus is currently handled via xenfs. This adds a device
driver for xenbus and makes xenfs use this code.

Bastian Blank d8414d3c15 xen: Add privcmd device driver
Access to arbitrary hypercalls is currently provided via xenfs. This
adds a standard character device to handle this. The support in xenfs
remains for backward compatibility and uses the device driver code.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1c5de1939c xen: add privcmd driver
The privcmd interface in xenfs allows the tool stack in the privileged
domain to get fairly direct access to the hypervisor in order to do
various management things such as domain construction.

[ Impact: new xenfs interface for privileged operations ]

Ian Campbell 655d406a7c xen: add /proc/xen/xsd_{kva,port} to xenfs
These are used by the userspace xenstore daemon, which runs in dom0.
Xenstored is what's behind the xenfs "xenbus" filesystem.

[ Impact: provide mapping and port to usermode for xenstore ]

Alex Zeffertt 1107ba885e xen: add xenfs to allow usermode <-> Xen interaction
The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode.  Initially
this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore.

Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen.  Rather than extending procfs,
this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides
a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.
