Alex Zeffertt 1107ba885e xen: add xenfs to allow usermode <-> Xen interaction
The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode.  Initially
this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore.

Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen.  Rather than extending procfs,
this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides
a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

config XEN_BALLOON
bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
depends on XEN
default y
help
The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
return unneeded memory to the system.
config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
depends on XEN_BALLOON
default y
help
Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
secure, but slightly less efficient.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XENFS
tristate "Xen filesystem"
depends on XEN
default y
help
The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
information with each other and with the hypervisor.
For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS
bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen"
depends on XENFS
default y
help
The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create
the compatibilty mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
a xen platform.
If in doubt, say yes.
