+/* Coverity Scan model
+ *
+ * This is a modelling file for Coverity Scan. Modelling helps to avoid false
+ * positives.
+ *
+ * - A model file can't import any header files.
+ * - Therefore only some built-in primitives like int, char and void are
+ * available but not NULL etc.
+ * - Modelling doesn't need full structs and typedefs. Rudimentary structs
+ * and similar types are sufficient.
+ * - An uninitialised local pointer is not an error. It signifies that the
+ * variable could be either NULL or have some data.
+ *
+ * Coverity Scan doesn't pick up modifications automatically. The model file
+ * must be uploaded by an admin in the analysis.
+ *
+ * The Xen Coverity Scan modelling file used the cpython modelling file as a
+ * reference to get started (suggested by Coverty Scan themselves as a good
+ * example), but all content is Xen specific.
