e4dcff1f6e xen pvfb: Dynamic mode support (screen resizing)
The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node
feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory.
xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change.  Fully
backwards compatible both ways.

Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through
kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video.  The backend enforces a separate
size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore
directory.

xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and
height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it.

Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit
system with 4K pages).

Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported,
yet.

1e892c959d xen pvfb: Module aliases to support module autoloading
These are mostly for completeness and consistency with the other
frontends, as PVFB is typically compiled in rather than a module.

While there, add module descriptions.

6ba0e7b36c xen pvfb: Pointer z-axis (mouse wheel) support
Add z-axis motion to pointer events.  Backward compatible, because
there's space for the z-axis in union xenkbd_in_event, and old
backends zero it.

4ee36dc08e xen pvfb: Para-virtual framebuffer, keyboard and pointer driver
This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers:
drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and
drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse.

The backends run in dom0 user space.

The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the
intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic:
the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete
device initialization unless they're both present.
