Hi all,

this series introduces the frontend for the newly introduced PV Calls
procotol.

PV Calls is a paravirtualized protocol that allows the implementation of
a set of POSIX functions in a different domain. The PV Calls frontend
sends POSIX function calls to the backend, which implements them and
returns a value to the frontend and acts on the function call.

For more information about PV Calls, please read:

https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/pvcalls.html

This patch series only implements the frontend driver. It doesn't
attempt to redirect POSIX calls to it. The functions exported in
pvcalls-front.h are meant to be used for that. A separate patch series
will be sent to use them and hook them into the system.


Changes in v2:
- use xenbus_read_unsigned when possible
- call dev_set_drvdata earlier in pvcalls_front_probe not to dereference
  a NULL pointer in the error path
- set ret appropriately in pvcalls_front_probe
- include pvcalls-front.h in pvcalls-front.c
- call wake_up only once after the consuming loop in pvcalls_front_event_handler
- don't leak "bytes" in case of errors in create_active
- call spin_unlock appropriately in case of errors in create_active
- remove all BUG_ONs
- don't leak newsock->sk in pvcalls_front_accept in case of errors
- rename PVCALLS_FRON_MAX_SPIN to PVCALLS_FRONT_MAX_SPIN
- return bool from pvcalls_front_read_todo
- add a barrier after setting PVCALLS_FLAG_POLL_RET in
  pvcalls_front_event_handler
- remove outdated comment in pvcalls_front_free_map
- clear sock->sk->sk_send_head later in pvcalls_front_release
- make XEN_PVCALLS_FRONTEND tristate
- don't add an empty resume function
