I have some questions about ioreq server:
1. If we use old version xen and newest version qemu, is it OK? Is default
   ioreq server created when the guest is created. xen_create_ioreq_server() 
does
   nothing, and xen_get_ioreq_server_info() will get the default ioreq server 
information.
   Is it right?
2. Why we create a default ioreq server when getting the hvm param if there is 
already a
   not default ioreq server?
3. In the far end, we will clear the ioreq page, and this ioreq page is used 
for default
   ioreq server, is it right?

Thanks
