2007-07-18	xen: add the Xenbus sysfs and virtual device hotplug driver	Jeremy Fitzhardinge	8	-0/+2726
	This communicates with the machine control software via a registry residing in a controlling virtual machine. This allows dynamic creation, destruction and modification of virtual device configurations (network devices, block devices and CPUS, to name some examples).

2007-07-18	xen: Add grant table support	Jeremy Fitzhardinge	2	-0/+583
	Add Xen 'grant table' driver which allows granting of access to selected local memory pages by other virtual machines and, symmetrically, the mapping of remote memory pages which other virtual machines have granted access to. This driver is a prerequisite for many of the Xen virtual device drivers, which grant the 'device driver domain' restricted and temporary access to only those memory pages that are currently involved in I/O operations.
