 * @section DESCRIPTION
 *
 *  Originally borrowed from the Qubes OS Project, http://www.qubes-os.org,
 *  this code has been substantially rewritten to use the gntdev and gntalloc
 *  devices instead of raw MFNs and map_foreign_range.
 *
 *  This is a library for inter-domain communication.  A standard Xen ring
 *  buffer is used, with a datagram-based interface built on top.  The grant
 *  reference and event channels are shared in XenStore under a user-specified
 *  path.
 *
 *  The ring.h macros define an asymmetric interface to a shared data structure
 *  that assumes all rings reside in a single contiguous memory space. This is
 *  not suitable for vchan because the interface to the ring is symmetric except
 *  for the setup. Unlike the producer-consumer rings defined in ring.h, the
 *  size of the rings used in vchan are determined at execution time instead of
 *  compile time, so the macros in ring.h cannot be used to access the rings.
