/*
 * 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 formatted 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.

 *
 * 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 Red Hat 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 Red Hat/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.

 *         their default values.

 *       o A backend may transition to XenbusStateInitialised, bypassing
 *         XenbusStateInitWait, without waiting for the frontend to first

 *         transport parameters are in effect and any transport parameters

 *
 *       Drivers that support optional features and/or transport parameter
