[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/4] xen/kbdif: Add unique input device identifier

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko <andr2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@xxxxxxxx>

If frontend is configured to expose multiple input device instances
then backend may require a way to uniquely identify concrete input
device within the frontend. This is useful for use-cases where
virtual input device needs to be matched to physical input device.
Add XenBus "unique-id" node parameter, so this sort of use-cases can
be implemented.
