 *****************************************************************************
 *                     Feature and Parameter Negotiation
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 * The two halves of a para-virtual driver utilize nodes within
 * XenStore to communicate capabilities and to negotiate operating parameters.
 * This section enumerates these nodes which reside in the respective front and
 * backend portions of XenStore, following XenBus convention.
 *
 * All data in 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.
 *
 *****************************************************************************
 *                            Backend XenBus Nodes
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 *---------------------------- Features supported ----------------------------
 *
 * Capable backend advertises supported features by publishing
 * corresponding entries in XenStore and puts 1 as the value of the entry.
 * If a feature is not supported then 0 must be set or feature entry omitted.
 *
 * feature-abs-pointer
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      Backends, which support reporting of absolute coordinates for pointer
 *      device should set this to 1.
 *
 *------------------------- Pointer Device Parameters ------------------------
 *
 * width
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      Maximum X coordinate (width) to be used by the frontend
 *      while reporting input events, pixels, [0; UINT32_MAX].
 *
 * height
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      Maximum Y coordinate (height) to be used by the frontend
 *      while reporting input events, pixels, [0; UINT32_MAX].
 *
 *****************************************************************************
 *                            Frontend XenBus Nodes
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 *------------------------------ Feature request -----------------------------
 *
 * Capable frontend requests features from backend via setting corresponding
 * entries to 1 in XenStore. Requests for features not advertised as supported
 * by the backend have no effect.
 *
 * request-abs-pointer
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      Request backend to report absolute pointer coordinates
 *      (XENKBD_TYPE_POS) instead of relative ones (XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION).
 *
 *----------------------- Request Transport Parameters -----------------------
 *
 * event-channel
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      The identifier of the Xen event channel used to signal activity
 *      in the ring buffer.
 *
 * page-gref
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      The Xen grant reference granting permission for the backend to map
 *      a sole page in a single page sized event ring buffer.
 *
 * page-ref
 *      Values:         <uint>
 *
 *      OBSOLETE, not recommended for use.
 *      PFN of the shared page.
