Paul Durrant 1096aa0238 docs: update HVM emulated unplug protocol to cover NVMe disks
Recent discussions on xen-devel have highlighted that to properly
support displacing emulated NVMe disks with PV equivalents will need
updates to PV frontends. Therefore it is important that, if an emulated
NVMe disk is exposed to a guest with an existing PV storage frontend,
that frontend does not inadvertently cause unplug of that emulated
disk when unplugging IDE or SCSI disks.

This patch defines a new bit in the mask used to instruct QEMU to unplug
emulated devices which will instruct QEMU to unplug NVMe disks and limits
the semantics of the existing 'all' disk-unplug bit to only IDE and/or SCSI
disks.

xen-bugtool
===========

The xen-bugtool command line application will collate the Xen dmesg output,
details of the hardware configuration of your machine, information about the
build of Xen that you are using, plus, if you allow it, various logs.

The information collated can either be posted to a Xen Bugzilla bug (this bug
must already exist in the system, and you must be a registered user there), or
it can be saved as a .tar.bz2 for sending or archiving.

The collated logs may contain private information, and if you are at all
worried about that, you should not use this tool, or you should explicitly
exclude those logs from the archive.

xen-bugtool is wholly interactive, so simply run it, and answer the questions.
