xen/public: Document HYPERCALL_console_io()
Currently, OS developpers will have to look at Xen code in order to know the parameters of an hypercall and how it is meant to work. This is not a trivial task as you may need to have a deep understanding of Xen internal. This patch attempts to document the behavior of HYPERCALL_console_io() to help OS developer.

|

* List of commands:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* * CONSOLEIO_write: Write the buffer to Xen console.
|
||||
* For the hardware domain, all the characters in the buffer will
|
||||
* be written. Characters will be printed directly to the console.
|
||||
* For all the other domains, only the printable characters will be
|
||||
* written. Characters may be buffered until a newline (i.e '\n') is
|
||||
* found.
|
||||
* @return 0 on success, otherwise return an error code.
|
||||
* * CONSOLEIO_read: Attempts to read up to @count characters from Xen
|
||||
* console. The maximum buffer size (i.e. @count) supported is 2GB.
|
||||
* @return the number of characters read on success, otherwise return
|
||||
* an error code.
