/*
 * PRODUCING AND CONSUMING GRANT REFERENCES
 * ========================================
 *
 * The xengnttab library contains two distinct interfaces, each with
 * their own distinct handle type and entry points. The represent the
 * two sides of the grant table interface, producer (gntshr) and
 * consumer (gnttab).
 *
 * The xengnttab_* interfaces take a xengnttab_handle and provide
 * mechanisms for consuming (i.e. mapping or copying to/from) grant
 * references provided by a peer.
 *
 * The xengntshr_* interfaces take a xengntshr_handle and provide a
 * mechanism to produce grantable memory and grant references to that
 * memory, which can be handed to some peer.
 *
 * UNMAP NOTIFICATION
 * ==================
 *
 * The xengnt{tab,shr}_*_notify interfaces implement a cooperative
 * interface which is intended to allow the underlying kernel
 * interfaces to attempt to notify the peer to perform graceful
 * teardown upon failure (i.e. crash or exit) of the process on their
 * end.
 *
 * These interfaces operate on a single page only and are intended for
 * use on the main shared-ring page of a protocol. It is assumed that
 * on teardown both ends would automatically teardown all grants
 * associated with the protocol in addition to the shared ring itself.
 *
 * Each end is able to optionally nominate a byte offset within the
 * shared page or an event channel or both. On exit of the process the
 * underlying kernel driver will zero the byte at the given offset and
 * signal the event channel.
 *
 * The event channel can be the same event channel used for regular
 * ring progress notifications, or may be a dedicated event channel.
 *
 * Both ends may share the same notification byte offset within the
 * shared page, or may have dedicated "client" and "server" status
 * bytes.
 *
 * Since the byte is cleared on shutdown the protocol must use 0 as
 * the "closed/dead" status, but is permitted to use any other non-0
 * values to indicate various other "live" states (waiting for
 * connection, connected, etc).
 *
 * Both ends are permitted to modify (including clear) their
 * respective status bytes and to signal the event channel themselves
 * from userspace.
 *
 * Depending on the mechanisms which have been registered an
 * the peer may receive a shutdown notification as:
 *
 *   - An event channel notification on a dedicated event channel
 *   - Observation of the other ends's status byte being cleared
 *     (whether in response to an explicit notification or in the
 *     course of normal operation).
 *
 * The mechanism should be defined as part of the specific ring
 * protocol.
 *
 * Upon receiving notification of the peer is expected to teardown any
 * resources (and in particular any grant mappings) in a timely
 * manner.
 *
 * NOTE: this protocol is intended to allow for better error behaviour
 * and recovery between two cooperating peers. It does not cover the
 * case of a malicious peer who may continue to hold resources open.
