    xen: Xen PCI platform device driver. · 183d03cc

    Add the xen pci platform device driver that is responsible
    for initializing the grant table and xenbus in PV on HVM mode.
    Few changes to xenbus and grant table are necessary to allow the delayed
    initialization in HVM mode.
    Grant table needs few additional modifications to work in HVM mode.
    
    The Xen PCI platform device raises an irq every time an event has been
    delivered to us. However these interrupts are only delivered to vcpu 0.
    The Xen PCI platform interrupt handler calls xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall
    that is a little wrapper around __xen_evtchn_do_upcall, the traditional
    Xen upcall handler, the very same used with traditional PV guests.
    
    When running on HVM the event channel upcall is never called while in
    progress because it is a normal Linux irq handler (and we cannot switch
    the irq chip wholesale to the Xen PV ones as we are running QEMU and
    might have passed in PCI devices), therefore we cannot be sure that
    evtchn_upcall_pending is 0 when returning.
    For this reason if evtchn_upcall_pending is set by Xen we need to loop
    again on the event channels set pending otherwise we might loose some
    event channel deliveries.
