/*
* Multiple hardware queues/rings:
* If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
* the directory for that vbd, and set its value to the maximum supported
* number of queues.
* Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
* key "multi-queue-num-queues" with the number they wish to use, which must be
* greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend in
* "multi-queue-max-queues".
*
* For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
* ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
* to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
* multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
*
* Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
* event-channel and ring-ref keys, instead writing those keys under sub-keys
* having the name "queue-N" where N is the integer ID of the queue/ring for
* which those keys belong. Queues are indexed from zero.
* For example, a frontend with two queues must write the following set of
* queue-related keys:
*
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#1>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"
*
* It is also possible to use multiple queues/rings together with
* feature multi-page ring buffer.
* For example, a frontend requests two queues/rings and the size of each ring
* buffer is two pages must write the following set of related keys:
*
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/ring-page-order = "1"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#1>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#2>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#3>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"

/*
* Recognised only if "feature-discard" is present in backend xenbus info.
* The "feature-discard" node contains a boolean indicating whether trim
* (ATA) or unmap (SCSI) - conviently called discard requests are likely
* to succeed or fail. Either way, a discard request
* may fail at any time with BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP if it is unsupported by
* the underlying block-device hardware. The boolean simply indicates whether
* or not it is worthwhile for the frontend to attempt discard requests.
* If a backend does not recognise BLKIF_OP_DISCARD, it should *not*
* create the "feature-discard" node!
*
* Discard operation is a request for the underlying block device to mark
* extents to be erased. However, discard does not guarantee that the blocks
* will be erased from the device - it is just a hint to the device
* controller that these blocks are no longer in use. What the device
* controller does with that information is left to the controller.
* Discard operations are passed with sector_number as the
* sector index to begin discard operations at and nr_sectors as the number of
* sectors to be discarded. The specified sectors should be discarded if the
* underlying block device supports trim (ATA) or unmap (SCSI) operations,
* or a BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP should be returned.
* More information about trim/unmap operations at:
* http://t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2008/
* e07154r6-Data_Set_Management_Proposal_for_ATA-ACS2.doc
* http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/disc/manuals/
* Interface%20manuals/100293068c.pdf
* The backend can optionally provide three extra XenBus attributes to
* further optimize the discard functionality:
* 'discard-alignment' - Devices that support discard functionality may
* internally allocate space in units that are bigger than the exported
* logical block size. The discard-alignment parameter indicates how many bytes
* the beginning of the partition is offset from the internal allocation unit's
* natural alignment.
* 'discard-granularity' - Devices that support discard functionality may
* internally allocate space using units that are bigger than the logical block
* size. The discard-granularity parameter indicates the size of the internal
* allocation unit in bytes if reported by the device. Otherwise the
* discard-granularity will be set to match the device's physical block size.
* 'discard-secure' - All copies of the discarded sectors (potentially created
* by garbage collection) must also be erased. To use this feature, the flag
* BLKIF_DISCARD_SECURE must be set in the blkif_request_trim.

/*
* Recognized if "feature-max-indirect-segments" in present in the backend
* xenbus info. The "feature-max-indirect-segments" node contains the maximum
* number of segments allowed by the backend per request. If the node is
* present, the frontend might use blkif_request_indirect structs in order to
* issue requests with more than BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (11). The
* maximum number of indirect segments is fixed by the backend, but the
* frontend can issue requests with any number of indirect segments as long as
* it's less than the number provided by the backend. The indirect_grefs field
* in blkif_request_indirect should be filled by the frontend with the
* grant references of the pages that are holding the indirect segments.
* These pages are filled with an array of blkif_request_segment that hold the
* information about the segments. The number of indirect pages to use is
* determined by the number of segments an indirect request contains. Every
* indirect page can contain a maximum of
* (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct blkif_request_segment)) segments, so to
* calculate the number of indirect pages to use we have to do
* ceil(indirect_segments / (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct blkif_request_segment))).

* If a backend does not recognize BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT, it should *not*
* create the "feature-max-indirect-segments" node!
