	This patch adds a new source module, xen-bus-helper.c, which builds on basic libxenstore primitives to provide functions to create (setting permissions appropriately) and destroy xenstore areas, and functions to 'printf' and 'scanf' nodes therein. The main xen-bus code then uses these primitives [1] to initialize and destroy the frontend and backend areas for a XenDevice during realize and unrealize respectively. The 'xen-block' implementation is extended with a 'get_name' method that returns the VBD number. This number is required to 'name' the xenstore areas. NOTE: An exit handler is also added to make sure the xenstore areas are cleaned up if QEMU terminates without devices being unrealized. [1] The 'scanf' functions are actually not yet needed, but they will be needed by code delivered in subsequent patches.

2019-01-14	xen: introduce 'xen-block', 'xen-disk' and 'xen-cdrom'	Paul Durrant
	This patch adds new XenDevice-s: 'xen-disk' and 'xen-cdrom', both derived from a common 'xen-block' parent type. These will eventually replace the 'xen_disk' (note the underscore rather than hyphen) legacy PV backend but it is illustrative to build up the implementation incrementally, along with the XenBus/XenDevice framework. Subsequent patches will therefore add to these devices' implementation as new features are added to the framework. After this patch has been applied it is possible to instantiate new 'xen-disk' or 'xen-cdrom' devices with a single 'vdev' parameter, which accepts values adhering to the Xen VBD naming scheme [1]. For example, a command-line instantiation of a xen-disk can be done with an argument similar to the following: -device xen-disk,vdev=hda The implementation of the vdev parameter formulates the appropriate VBD number for use in the PV protocol.
