xen pvfb: Dynamic mode support (screen resizing)
The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node
feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory.
xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change. Fully
backwards compatible both ways.
Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through
kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video. The backend enforces a separate
size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore
directory.
xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and
height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it.
Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit
system with 4K pages).
Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported,
yet.
