xen pvfb: Para-virtual framebuffer, keyboard and pointer driver

This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers:
drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and
drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse.

The backends run in dom0 user space.

The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the
intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic:
the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete
device initialization unless they're both present.

This driver implements the front-end of the Xen virtual
keyboard and mouse device driver. It communicates with a back-end
in another domain.
