This patch series introduces the xenio daemon. This daemon is responsible for
coordinating blkfront and tapdisk, when blkfront changes state. It does so by
monitoring XenStore for blkfront state changes. The daemon creates/destroys the
shared ring, instructs the tapdisk to connect to/disconnect from it, and
manages the state of the back-end.

This series requires the RFC series described in
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-11/msg00875.html
in order to compile.
