* @section DESCRIPTION
*
* Originally borrowed from the Qubes OS Project, http://www.qubes-os.org,
* this code has been substantially rewritten to use the gntdev and gntalloc
* devices instead of raw MFNs and map_foreign_range.
*
* This is a library for inter-domain communication. A standard Xen ring
* buffer is used, with a datagram-based interface built on top. The grant
* reference and event channels are shared in XenStore under a user-specified
* path.
*
* The ring.h macros define an asymmetric interface to a shared data structure
* that assumes all rings reside in a single contiguous memory space. This is
* not suitable for vchan because the interface to the ring is symmetric except
* for the setup. Unlike the producer-consumer rings defined in ring.h, the
* size of the rings used in vchan are determined at execution time instead of
* compile time, so the macros in ring.h cannot be used to access the rings.
