+ *****************************************************************************
+ *
+ * The two halves of a para-virtual driver utilize nodes within
+ * XenStore to communicate capabilities and to negotiate operating parameters.
+ * This section enumerates these nodes which reside in the respective front and
+ * backend portions of XenStore, following XenBus convention.
+ *
+ * All data in XenStore is stored as strings.  Nodes specifying numeric
+ * values are encoded in decimal. Integer value ranges listed below are
+ * expressed as fixed sized integer types capable of storing the conversion
+ * of a properly formated node string, without loss of information.
+ *
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *                            Backend XenBus Nodes
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *
+ *---------------------------- Features supported ----------------------------
+ *
+ * Capable backend advertises supported features by publishing
+ * corresponding entries in XenStore and puts 1 as the value of the entry.
+ * If a feature is not supported then 0 must be set or feature entry omitted.
+ *
+ * feature-disable-keyboard
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      If there is no need to expose a virtual keyboard device by the
+ *      frontend then this must be set to 1.
+ *
+ * feature-disable-pointer
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      If there is no need to expose a virtual pointer device by the
+ *      frontend then this must be set to 1.
+ *
+ * feature-abs-pointer
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Backends, which support reporting of absolute coordinates for pointer
+ *      device should set this to 1.
+ *
+ * feature-multi-touch
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Backends, which support reporting of multi-touch events
+ *      should set this to 1.
+ *
+ * feature-raw-pointer
+ *      Values:        <uint>
+ *
+ *      Backends, which support reporting raw (unscaled) absolute coordinates
+ *      for pointer devices should set this to 1. Raw (unscaled) values have
+ *      a range of [0, 0x7fff].
+ *
+ *-----------------------  Device Instance Parameters ------------------------
+ *
+ * unique-id
+ *      Values:         <string>
+ *
+ *      After device instance initialization it is assigned a unique ID,
+ *      so every instance of the frontend can be identified by the backend
+ *      by this ID. This can be UUID or such.
+ *
+ *------------------------- Pointer Device Parameters ------------------------
+ *
+ * width
+ *      Values:         <uint>

+ *
+ *      Maximum Y coordinate (height) to be used by the frontend

+ *
+ *----------------------- Multi-touch Device Parameters ----------------------
+ *
+ * multi-touch-num-contacts
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Number of simultaneous touches reported.
+ *
+ * multi-touch-width
+ *      Values:         <uint>

+ *------------------------------ Feature request -----------------------------
+ *
+ * Capable frontend requests features from backend via setting corresponding
+ * entries to 1 in XenStore. Requests for features not advertised as supported
+ * by the backend have no effect.
+ *
+ * request-abs-pointer
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Request backend to report absolute pointer coordinates
+ *      (XENKBD_TYPE_POS) instead of relative ones (XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION).
+ *
+ * request-multi-touch
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Request backend to report multi-touch events.
+ *
+ * request-raw-pointer
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Request backend to report raw unscaled absolute pointer coordinates.
+ *      This option is only valid if request-abs-pointer is also set.
+ *      Raw unscaled coordinates have the range [0, 0x7fff]

+ * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
+ * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
+ * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
+ *
+ * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
+ * event-channel (or event-channel-{tx,rx}) and {tx,rx}-ring-ref keys,
+ * instead writing those keys under sub-keys having the name "queue-N" where
+ * N is the integer ID of the queue for which those keys belong. Queues
+ * are indexed from zero. For example, a frontend with two queues and split
+ * event channels must write the following set of queue-related keys:
+ *
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0 = ""
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1 = ""
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx1>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx1"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx1>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx1>"
+ *
+ * If there is any inconsistency in the XenStore data, the backend may
+ * choose not to connect any queues, instead treating the request as an
+ * error. This includes scenarios where more (or fewer) queues were
+ * requested than the frontend provided details for.
+ *
+ * Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
+ * transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
+ * between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
+ * they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
+ * prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.

+ * Control ring
+ * ============
+ *
+ * Some features, such as hashing (detailed below), require a
+ * significant amount of out-of-band data to be passed from frontend to
+ * backend. Use of xenstore is not suitable for large quantities of data
+ * because of quota limitations and so a dedicated 'control ring' is used.
+ * The ability of the backend to use a control ring is advertised by
+ * setting:
+ *
+ * /local/domain/X/backend/<domid>/<vif>/feature-ctrl-ring = "1"
+ *
+ * The frontend provides a control ring to the backend by setting:
+ *
+ * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vif/<vif>/ctrl-ring-ref = <gref>
+ * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vif/<vif>/event-channel-ctrl = <port>
+ *
+ * where <gref> is the grant reference of the shared page used to
+ * implement the control ring and <port> is an event channel to be used
+ * as a mailbox interrupt. These keys must be set before the frontend
+ * moves into the connected state.
+ *
+ * The control ring uses a fixed request/response message size and is
+ * balanced (i.e. one request to one response), so operationally it is much
+ * the same as a transmit or receive ring.
+ * Note that there is no requirement that responses are issued in the same
+ * order as requests.

+ *                                    size = fragment size
+ *
+ * NOTE:
+ *
+ * This format slightly is different from that used for transmit
+ * (frontend -> backend) packets. Specifically, in a multi-fragment
+ * packet the size of the packet can only be determined by summing the
+ * sizes of fragments 1..N.
+ *
+ * Ring slot size is 8 octets.
+ *
+ * rx request (netif_rx_request_t)
+ * -------------------------------
+ *
+ *    0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7  octet
+ * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ * | id        | pad       | gref                  |
+ * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ *
+ * id: request identifier, echoed in response.
+ * gref: reference to incoming granted frame.
+ *
+ * rx response (netif_rx_response_t)
+ * ---------------------------------
+ *
+ *    0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7  octet
+ * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ * | id        | offset    | flags     | status    |
+ * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ *
+ * id: reflects id in receive request
+ * offset: offset in page of start of received packet
+ * flags: NETRXF_*
+ * status: -ve: NETIF_RSP_*; +ve: Rx'ed pkt size.
+ *
+ * NOTE: Historically, to support GSO on the frontend receive side, Linux
+ *       netfront does not make use of the rx response id (because, as
+ *       described below, extra info structures overlay the id field).
+ *       Instead it assumes that responses always appear in the same ring
+ *       slot as their corresponding request. Thus, to maintain
+ *       compatibility, backends must make sure this is the case.
+ *
+ * Extra Info
+ * ==========
+ *
+ * Can be present if initial request or response has NET{T,R}XF_extra_info,
+ * or previous extra request has XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_MORE.
+ *
+ * The struct therefore needs to fit into either a tx or rx slot and
+ * is therefore limited to 8 octets.
+ *
+ * NOTE: Because extra info data overlays the usual request/response
+ *       structures, there is no id information in the opposite direction.
+ *       So, if an extra info overlays an rx response the frontend can
+ *       assume that it is in the same ring slot as the request that was
+ *       consumed to make the slot available, and the backend must ensure
+ *       this assumption is true.
