2019-01-14xen: automatically create XenBlockDevice-sPaul Durrant
This patch adds create and destroy function for XenBlockDevice-s so that they can be created automatically when the Xen toolstack instantiates a new PV backend via xenstore. When the XenBlockDevice is created this way it is also necessary to create a 'drive' which matches the configuration that the Xen toolstack has written into xenstore. This is done by formulating the parameters necessary for each 'blockdev' layer of the drive and then using qmp_blockdev_add() to create the layers. Also, for compatibility with the legacy 'xen_disk' implementation, an iothread is automatically created for the new XenBlockDevice. This, like the driver layers, will be destroyed after the XenBlockDevice is unrealized. The legacy backend scan for 'qdisk' is removed by this patch, which makes the 'xen_disk' code is redundant. The code will be removed by a subsequent patch.

2019-01-14xen: add implementations of xen-block connect and disconnect functions...Paul Durrant
...and wire in the dataplane. This patch adds the remaining code to make the xen-block XenDevice functional. The parameters that a block frontend expects to find are populated in the backend xenstore area, and the 'ring-ref' and 'event-channel' values specified in the frontend xenstore area are mapped/bound and used to set up the dataplane.

2019-01-14xen: 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.
