xen-netback: add control ring boilerplate
My recent patch to include/xen/interface/io/netif.h defines a new shared ring (in addition to the rx and tx rings) for passing control messages from a VM frontend driver to a backend driver. This patch adds the necessary code to xen-netback to map this new shared ring, should it be created by a frontend, but does not add implementations for any of the defined protocol messages. These are added in a subsequent patch for clarity. Signed-off-by: Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@citrix.com> Acked-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
