Consume and ignore all XS_DEBUG packets, and pass the response type back to
the caller of xenbus_recv() so the caller can take appropriate action if an
unexpected reply was received.

The functions ring_read and ring_write() have logic to try and deal with
partial reads and writes.
However, in all cases where the "while (len)" loop executed twice, data
corruption would occur as the second memcpy() starts from the beginning of
"data" again, rather than from where it got to.
This bug manifested itself as protocol corruption when a reply header crossed
the first wrap of the response ring. However, similar corruption would also
occur if hvmloader observed xenstored performing partial writes of the block
in question, or if hvmloader had to wait for xenstored to make space in either
ring.

Hvmloader uses the xenstore ring and then tries to reset it back
to its initial state before booting the guest. Occasionally xenstored
will read the ring while it is being zeroed and conclude it has
been corrupted. This prevents PV drivers from loading in the guest.
This patch updates the xenstore ring protocol definition, enabling
a server to advertise additional features to the guest. One such feature
is defined: the ability to cleanly reset the ring including the
higher-level protocol, like an enhanced RESET_WATCHES for rings.
This patch implements the ring reconnection features in oxenstored
and hvmloader, fixing the bug.
This patch also defines an 'invalid' xenstore packet type and uses this
to poison the ring over a reconnect. This will make diagnosing this
bug much easier in future.

These fields need to be valid at all times. Hypervisor ensures this
even across 32/64-bit guest transitions.
This fixes a bug where wallclock time is incorrect for booting 32-bit
HVM guests.
This should be backported to Xen 4.1 and 4.2.

liberal terms.
This code is a great example of a simple xenbus implementation and we
would like to reuse it in projects with non-GPLv2 license
(specifically in this case SeaBIOS which is GPLv3).
I picked the license from extras/mini-os/COPYING (A two clause BSD
style license) since mini-os exists for much the same purpose.
