 * 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. */

/*D:460 This is the layout of a block device memory page.  The Launcher sets up

 * then DMAs to the Host.  The Host processes the request, sets up the result,

 * 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:
