    pvcalls: Clearly spell out that the header is just a reference
    
    A recent thread on xen-devel [1] pointed out that the header was
    provided as a reference for the specification.
    
    Unfortunately, this was never written down in xen.git so for an external
    user (or a reviewer) it is not clear whether the spec or the header
    should be followed when there is a conflict.
    
    To avoid more confusion, a paragraph is added at the top of the header
    to clearly spell out it is only provided for reference.
