Commit Message

Paul Durrant Dec. 6, 2018, 3:08 p.m. UTC
This patch adds the basic boilerplate for a 'XenBus' object that will act
as a parent to 'XenDevice' PV backends.
A new 'XenBridge' object is also added to connect XenBus to the system bus.

The XenBus object is instantiated by a new xen_bus_init() function called
from the same sites as the legacy xen_be_init() function.

Subsequent patches will flesh-out the functionality of these objects.

Since all you do here is propagate the error, you could even pass `errp'
to unrealize(), instead of having `local_err'. That "for readability",
as explained in "qapi/error.h".
