H A Devents.h420eb554 Thu Oct 27 16:58:47 CDT 2011 Daniel De Graaf <dgdegra@tycho.nsa.gov> xen/event: Add reference counting to event channels

Event channels exposed to userspace by the evtchn module may be used by
other modules in an asynchronous manner, which requires that reference
counting be used to prevent the event channel from being closed before
the signals are delivered.

The reference count on new event channels defaults to -1 which indicates
the event channel is not referenced outside the kernel; evtchn_get fails
if called on such an event channel. The event channels made visible to
userspace by evtchn have a normal reference count.
