In Xen-paravirt mode, VM_IO flag signifies that the page frame number (PFN)
is actually a machine frame number (MFN). This is correct for memory backed by
PCI devices, but wrong for memory allocated from System RAM where the PFN
!= MFN.
During page faults, pages with VM_IO, get assigned to special domain I/O
domain and as said, the PFN is interpreted as MFN. When Xen hypervisor
modifies the PTE it interprets the PFN as the MFN, complains and
fails the PTE modification.
The end result is an infinitive page fault in the domain.

As soon as the framebuffer is registered, our methods may be called by the
kernel. This leads to a crash as xenfb_refresh() gets called before we have
the irq.
Connect to the backend before registering our framebuffer with the kernel.

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

There are four operating modes Xen code may find itself running in:
- native
- hvm domain
- pv dom0
- pv domU
Clean up predicates for testing for these states to make them more consistent.

The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node
feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory.
xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change. Fully
backwards compatible both ways.
Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through
kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video. The backend enforces a separate
size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore
directory.
xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and
height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it.
Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit
system with 4K pages).
Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported,
yet.

This isn't a security flaw (the backend can see all our memory

These are mostly for completeness and consistency with the other
frontends, as PVFB is typically compiled in rather than a module.

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.
Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.
Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.
Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers:
drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and
drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse.
The backends run in dom0 user space.
The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the
intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic:
the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete
device initialization unless they're both present.
