* Lguest I/O
*
* The lguest I/O mechanism is the only way Guests can talk to devices. There
* are two hypercalls involved: SEND_DMA for output and BIND_DMA for input. In
* each case, "struct lguest_dma" describes the buffer: this contains 16
* addr/len pairs, and if there are fewer buffer elements the len array is
* terminated with a 0.
*
* I/O is organized by keys: BIND_DMA attaches buffers to a particular key, and
* SEND_DMA transfers to buffers bound to particular key. By convention, keys
* correspond to a physical address within the device's page. This means that
* devices will never accidentally end up with the same keys, and allows the
* Host use The Futex Trick (as we'll see later in our journey).
*
* SEND_DMA simply indicates a key to send to, and the physical address of the
* "struct lguest_dma" to send. The Host will write the number of bytes
* transferred into the "struct lguest_dma"'s used_len member.
*
* BIND_DMA indicates a key to bind to, a pointer to an array of "struct
* lguest_dma"s ready for receiving, the size of that array, and an interrupt
* to trigger when data is received. The Host will only allow transfers into
* buffers with a used_len of zero: it then sets used_len to the number of
* bytes transferred and triggers the interrupt for the Guest to process the
* new input. */

* Drivers
*
* The Guest needs devices to do anything useful. Since we don't let it touch
* real devices (think of the damage it could do!) we provide virtual devices.
* We could emulate a PCI bus with various devices on it, but that is a fairly
* complex burden for the Host and suboptimal for the Guest, so we have our own
* "lguest" bus and simple drivers.
*
* Devices are described by an array of LGUEST_MAX_DEVICES of these structs,
* placed by the Launcher just above the top of physical memory:
