This is an RFC of Linux guest-side implementation of the FIFO-based
event channel ABI described in this design document:

http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-C.pdf

Refer also to the Xen series.

Patch 1 fixes a regression introduced in 3.7 and is unrelated to this
series.

Patch 2 is a obvious refactoring of common code.

Patch 3-7 prepare for supporting multiple ABIs.

Patch 8 adds the low-level evtchn_ops hooks.

Patch 9-10 add an additional hook for ABI-specific per-port setup
(used for expanding the event array as more event are bound).

Patch 11-12 add the ABI and the implementation.  Main known
limitations are listed in patch 12.
