/*
* Feature and Parameter Negotiation
* =================================
* The two halves of a Xen block driver utilize nodes within the XenStore to
* communicate capabilities and to negotiate operating parameters. This
* section enumerates these nodes which reside in the respective front and
* backend portions of the XenStore, following the XenBus convention.
*
* All data in the XenStore is stored as strings. Nodes specifying numeric
* values are encoded in decimal. Integer value ranges listed below are
* expressed as fixed sized integer types capable of storing the conversion
* of a properly formated node string, without loss of information.
*
* Any specified default value is in effect if the corresponding XenBus node
* is not present in the XenStore.
*
* XenStore nodes in sections marked "PRIVATE" are solely for use by the
* driver side whose XenBus tree contains them.
*
* XenStore nodes marked "DEPRECATED" in their notes section should only be
* used to provide interoperability with legacy implementations.
*
* See the XenBus state transition diagram below for details on when XenBus
* nodes must be published and when they can be queried.

* ring-ref%u
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Notes: 6
*
* For a frontend providing a multi-page ring, a "number of ring pages"

*
* A value indicating the physical device to virtualize within the
* frontend's domain. (e.g. "The first ATA disk", "The third SCSI
* disk", etc.)
*
* See docs/misc/vbd-interface.txt for details on the format of this
* value.
*
* Notes
* -----
* (1) Multi-page ring buffer scheme first developed in the Citrix XenServer
* PV drivers.
* (2) Multi-page ring buffer scheme first used in some RedHat distributions
* including a distribution deployed on certain nodes of the Amazon
* EC2 cluster.
* (3) Support for multi-page ring buffers was implemented independently,
* in slightly different forms, by both Citrix and RedHat/Amazon.
* For full interoperability, block front and backends should publish
* identical ring parameters, adjusted for unit differences, to the
* XenStore nodes used in both schemes.
* (4) Devices that support discard functionality may internally allocate
* space (discardable extents) in units that are larger than the
* exported logical block size.
* (5) The discard-alignment parameter allows a physical device to be
* partitioned into virtual devices that do not necessarily begin or
* end on a discardable extent boundary.
* (6) When there is only a single page allocated to the request ring,
* 'ring-ref' is used to communicate the grant reference for this
* page to the backend. When using a multi-page ring, the 'ring-ref'
* node is not created. Instead 'ring-ref0' - 'ring-refN' are used.

* Note: Drivers that do not support any optional features, or the negotiation
* of transport parameters, can skip certain states in the state machine:
*
* o A frontend may transition to XenbusStateInitialised without
* waiting for the backend to enter XenbusStateInitWait. In this
* case, default transport parameters are in effect and any
* transport parameters published by the frontend must contain
* their default values.
*
* o A backend may transition to XenbusStateInitialised, bypassing
* XenbusStateInitWait, without waiting for the frontend to first
* enter the XenbusStateInitialised state. In this case, default
* transport parameters are in effect and any transport parameters
* published by the backend must contain their default values.
*
* Drivers that support optional features and/or transport parameter
* negotiation must tolerate these additional state transition paths.
* In general this means performing the work of any skipped state
* transition, if it has not already been performed, in addition to the
* work associated with entry into the current state.
