[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/5] xenfb: Add "feature-no-console"

[Owen smith]

Added feature to allow vkbd connection without waiting for vfb device.
Windows PV frontend requires connection without a vfb device, Ubuntu HVM
would not start correctly without the wait for vfb device.

backend: feature-no-console
    Value: 0/1 (boolean)
    Default Value: 0

    A value of "1" indicates that the backend supports vkbd devices
    without waiting for the corresponding vfb device. Frontends
    set "request-no-console" before connect to allow the backend to
    connect without waiting for the vfb device.

frontend: request-no-console
    Value: 0/1 (boolean)
    Default Value: 0

    A frontend sets a value of "1" to prevent the backend waiting for
    the vfb device to become available and attach to a console.
