This is the update patch of PVUSB that includes some
enhancement and some bugfixes pointed out on this ML.

Main changes are followings:
- xenbus state flow changed.
  Whole of the flow is changed to be like netback/netfront.
  Reconfiguring/Reconfiguring are removed.

- New RING for hotplug notification added.

- USBIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST value is changed (10) to (16).
  According to this change, RING_SIZE is decreased from 32 to 16.
  This affects the performance. My flash drive's read throughput
  was dropped from 29MB/s to 18MB/s in the linux environment.
  However, Windows guest send urb with 64kB buffer(64KB = 4kB * 16).
  This is required.

- New port-setting interface
  xenbus_watch_path2 is added to usbback, port-setting interface
  is moved from sysfs to xenstore.
  Now, the port-rule is directly written to xenstore entry.
  Example.
  # xenstore-write /local/domain/0/backend/vusb/1/0/port/1 “2-1”
    (adding physical bus 2-1 to vusb-1-0 port 1)

- urb dequeue function completed.
  usbfront send unlink-request to usbback, and can cancel the urb
  that is submitted in the backend.

- New USB Spec version (USB1.1/USB2.0) selection support.
  usbfront can act as both USB1.1 and USB2.0 virtual host controller
  according to the xenstore entry key "usb-ver".

- experimental bus_suspend/bus_resume added to usbfront.

- various cleanups, bugfix, refactoring and codestyle-fix.


Attached files are xenstore reference and simple shell-script for
setting up and initializing the xenstore entries.

Current PVUSB has drivers only, but I'm now working on
xm integration and will post by this November.

Regards,
Noboru
