When QEMU receives a xenstore watch event suggesting that the "state"
of the frontend changed, it records this in its own state but it also
re-write the value back into xenstore even so there were no change.
This triggers an unnecessary xenstore watch event which QEMU will
process again (and maybe the frontend as well). Also QEMU could
potentially write an already old value.

When a frontend wants to reset its state and the backend one, it
starts with setting "Closing", then waits for the backend (QEMU) to do
the same.
But when QEMU is setting "Closing" to its state, it triggers an event
(xenstore watch) that re-execute xen_device_backend_changed() and set
the backend state to "Closed". QEMU should wait for the frontend to
set "Closed" before doing the same.
Before setting "Closed" to the backend_state, we are also going to
check if there is a frontend. If that the case, when the backend state
is set to "Closing" the frontend should react and sets its state to
"Closing" then "Closed". The backend should wait for that to happen.

In my "build everything" tree, changing hw/qdev-properties.h triggers
a recompile of some 2700 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).
Many places including hw/qdev-properties.h (directly or via hw/qdev.h)
actually need only hw/qdev-core.h. Include hw/qdev-core.h there
instead.
hw/qdev.h is actually pointless: all it does is include hw/qdev-core.h
and hw/qdev-properties.h, which in turn includes hw/qdev-core.h.
Replace the remaining uses of hw/qdev.h by hw/qdev-properties.h.
While there, delete a few superfluous inclusions of hw/qdev-core.h.
Touching hw/qdev-properties.h now recompiles some 1200 objects.

This patch introduces a poll callback for event channel fd-s and uses
this to invoke the channel callback function.
To properly support polling, it is necessary for the event channel callback
function to return a boolean saying whether it has done any useful work or
not. Thus xen_block_dataplane_event() is modified to directly invoke
xen_block_handle_requests() and the latter only returns true if it actually
processes any requests. This also means that the call to qemu_bh_schedule()
is moved into xen_block_complete_aio(), which is more intuitive since the
only reason for doing a deferred poll of the shared ring should be because
there were previously insufficient resources to fully complete a previous
poll.

To better support use of IOThread-s it will be necessary to be able to set
the AioContext for each XenEventChannel and hence it is necessary to open a
separate handle to libxenevtchan for each channel.
This patch stops using NotifierList for event channel callbacks, replacing
that construct by a list of complete XenEventChannel structures. Each of
these now has a xenevtchn_handle pointer in place of the single pointer
previously held in the XenDevice structure. The individual handles are
opened/closed in xen_device_bind/unbind_event_channel(), replacing the
single open/close in xen_device_realize/unrealize().
NOTE: This patch does not add an AioContext parameter to
xen_device_bind_event_channel(). That will be done in a subsequent
patch.

There is a flaw in the xen-bus state model. To allow a frontend to re-
connect the backend state of an online XenDevice is transitioned from
Closed to InitWait, but this is currently done unilaterally which is
incorrect. The backend state should remain Closed until the frontend state
transitions to Initialising.
This patch removes the automatic backend state transition from
xen_device_backend_state_changed() and, instead, adds an extra check in
xen_device_frontend_state_changed() to determine whether a frontend is
trying to re-connect to a previously Closed XenDevice. Only if this is
found to be the case is the backend state transitioned from Closed to
InitWait. Note that this transition will be common amongst all XenDevice
classes and hence xen_device_frontend_state_changed() returns immediately
afterwards without calling into the XenDeviceClass frontend_changed()
method.

...that maintains compatibility with existing Xen toolstacks.
Xen toolstacks instantiate PV backends by simply writing information into
xenstore and expecting a backend implementation to be watching for this.
This patch adds a new 'xen-backend' module to allow individual XenDevice
implementations to register create and destroy functions. The creator
will be called when a tool-stack instantiates a new backend in this way,
and the destructor will then be called after the resulting XenDevice
object is unrealized.
To support this it is also necessary to add new watchers into the XenBus
implementation to handle enumeration of new backends and also destruction
of XenDevice-s when the toolstack sets the backend 'online' key to 0.
NOTE: This patch only adds the framework. A subsequent patch will add a
creator function for xen-block devices.

4.7. Also the function xen_device_bind_event_channel assign the return
value of xenevtchn_bind_interdomain to channel->local_port but check the
result for error with xendev->local_port.
Fix by:
- removing local_port from struct XenDevice as it isn't use anywere.
- adding a compatibility typedef for xenevtchn_port_or_error_t for Xen
4.6 and earlier.
As extra, replace the type of XenEventChannel->local_port by
evtchn_port_t.

A Xen PV frontend communicates its state to the PV backend by writing to
the 'state' key in the frontend area in xenstore. It is therefore
necessary for a XenDevice implementation to be notified whenever the
value of this key changes.
This patch adds code to do this as follows:
- an 'fd handler' is registered on the libxenstore handle which will be
triggered whenever a 'watch' event occurs
- primitives are added to xen-bus-helper to add or remove watch events
- a list of Notifier objects is added to XenBus to provide a mechanism
to call the appropriate 'watch handler' when its associated event
occurs
The xen-block implementation is extended with a 'frontend_changed' method,
which calls as-yet stub 'connect' and 'disconnect' functions when the
relevant frontend state transitions occur. A subsequent patch will supply
a full implementation for these functions.

This patch adds a new source module, xen-bus-helper.c, which builds on
basic libxenstore primitives to provide functions to create (setting
permissions appropriately) and destroy xenstore areas, and functions to
'printf' and 'scanf' nodes therein. The main xen-bus code then uses
these primitives [1] to initialize and destroy the frontend and backend
areas for a XenDevice during realize and unrealize respectively.
The 'xen-block' implementation is extended with a 'get_name' method that
returns the VBD number. This number is required to 'name' the xenstore
areas.
NOTE: An exit handler is also added to make sure the xenstore areas are
cleaned up if QEMU terminates without devices being unrealized.
[1] The 'scanf' functions are actually not yet needed, but they will be
needed by code delivered in subsequent patches.
