    [SPARC64]: Add LDOM virtual channel driver and VIO device layer. · e53e97ce

    Virtual devices on Sun Logical Domains are built on top
    of a virtual channel framework.  This, with help of hypervisor
    interfaces, provides a link layer protocol with basic
    handshaking over which virtual device clients and servers
    communicate.
    
    Built on top of this is a VIO device protocol which has it's
    own handshaking and message types.  At this layer attributes
    are exchanged (disk size, network device addresses, etc.)
    descriptor rings are registered, and data transfers are
    triggers and replied to.
