The documented connection sequence in xen/include/public/io/9pfs.h has
a bug: the frontend needs to wait for the backend to have published its
features before being able to allocate its rings and event-channels.

While correcting that, make it clear that there might be multiple
rings and event-channels by adding "(s)".
