+/*
+ * Xen hypercall batching.
+ *
+ * Xen allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once, using the
+ * multicall interface. This allows the cost of trapping into the
+ * hypervisor to be amortized over several calls.
+ *
+ * This file implements a simple interface for multicalls. There's a
+ * per-cpu buffer of outstanding multicalls. When you want to queue a
+ * multicall for issuing, you can allocate a multicall slot for the
+ * call and its arguments, along with storage for space which is
+ * pointed to by the arguments (for passing pointers to structures,
+ * etc). When the multicall is actually issued, all the space for the
+ * commands and allocated memory is freed for reuse.
+ *
+ * Multicalls are flushed whenever any of the buffers get full, or
+ * when explicitly requested. There's no way to get per-multicall
+ * return results back. It will BUG if any of the multicalls fail.
+ *
