Thread-topic: XenBusState move from the linux tree to the xen tree
Hello,

I just went through the latest rewrite of the xenbus/front-end/backend
driver rewrite. A new enum is introduced called the XenbusState. This
enum is defined in the linux-tree under include/asm-xen/xenbus.h

As __any__ OS frontend driver may want to access the backend driver
sitting on Linux and as that frontend driver needs to know what the
states of XenbusState is I think it would make sense to move that enum
to the xen public headers instead. Perhaps under io/xs_wire.h ? 

Does this make sense to those of you that are knowledgeable with xenbus
and the backend/frontend drivers?

/Joakim Dahlstedt
