+ *****************************************************************************
+ *                     Feature and Parameter Negotiation
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *
+ * The two halves of a para-virtual driver utilize nodes within
+ * XenStore to communicate capabilities and to negotiate operating parameters.
+ * This section enumerates these nodes which reside in the respective front and
+ * backend portions of XenStore, following XenBus convention.
+ *
+ * All data in XenStore is stored as strings.  Nodes specifying numeric
+ * values are encoded in decimal. Integer value ranges listed below are
+ * expressed as fixed sized integer types capable of storing the conversion
+ * of a properly formated node string, without loss of information.
+ *
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *                            Backend XenBus Nodes
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *
+ *---------------------------- Features supported ----------------------------
+ *
+ * Capable backend advertises supported features by publishing
+ * corresponding entries in XenStore and puts 1 as the value of the entry.
+ * If a feature is not supported then 0 must be set or feature entry omitted.
+ *
+ * feature-abs-pointer
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Backends, which support reporting of absolute coordinates for pointer
+ *      device should set this to 1.
+ *
+ *------------------------- Pointer Device Parameters ------------------------
+ *
+ * width
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Maximum X coordinate (width) to be used by the frontend
+ *      while reporting input events, pixels, [0; UINT32_MAX].
+ *
+ * height
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Maximum Y coordinate (height) to be used by the frontend
+ *      while reporting input events, pixels, [0; UINT32_MAX].
+ *
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *                            Frontend XenBus Nodes
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *
+ *------------------------------ Feature request -----------------------------
+ *
+ * Capable frontend requests features from backend via setting corresponding
+ * entries to 1 in XenStore. Requests for features not advertised as supported
+ * by the backend have no effect.
+ *
+ * request-abs-pointer
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      Request backend to report absolute pointer coordinates
+ *      (XENKBD_TYPE_POS) instead of relative ones (XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION).
+ *
+ *----------------------- Request Transport Parameters -----------------------
+ *
+ * event-channel
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      The identifier of the Xen event channel used to signal activity
+ *      in the ring buffer.
+ *
+ * page-gref
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      The Xen grant reference granting permission for the backend to map
+ *      a sole page in a single page sized event ring buffer.
+ *
+ * page-ref
+ *      Values:         <uint>
+ *
+ *      OBSOLETE, not recommended for use.
+ *      PFN of the shared page.
