include/xen/interface/io/ring.h uses
full memory barriers to communicate with the other side.
For guests compiled with CONFIG_SMP, smp_wmb and smp_mb
would be sufficient, so mb() and wmb() here are only needed if
a non-SMP guest runs on an SMP host.
Switch to virt_xxx barriers which serve this exact purpose.

Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly
(i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the
shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request
generally requires taking a local copy.
Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of
RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of
ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible
compiler optimizations.
Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or
omitting the copy.
This is part of XSA155.

Backends may need to protect themselves against an insane number of
produced requests stored by a frontend, in case they iterate over
requests until reaching the req_prod value. There can't be more
requests on the ring than the difference between produced requests
and produced (but possibly not yet published) responses.
This is a more strict alternative to a patch previously posted by
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>.

Without this, gcc 4.5 won't compile xen-netfront and xen-blkfront, where
this is being used to specify array sizes.

Add Xen interface header files. These are taken fairly directly from
the Xen tree, but somewhat rearranged to suit the kernel's conventions.
Define macros and inline functions for doing hypercalls into the
hypervisor.
