[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/6] xl: add support for channels

[David Scott <dave.scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This adds support for channel declarations of the form:

  channel = [ "name=...,type=...[,path=...][,backend=...]" ]

where 'name' is a label to identify the channel to the frontend.

If 'type = none' then the channel is connected to /dev/null
If 'type = pty' then the channel is connected to a pty in the
  backend domain
If 'type = path' then data is read from the channel and written
  to the file given by 'path = ...' in the backend domain.
If 'type = socket' then the channel is connected to a Unix domain
  socket given by 'path = ...' in the backend domain.
