1. Add two new domctl API to:
    - Allocate a new event channel for sending/receiving events to/from Xen.
    - Map the PFN allocted by the toolstack to be used as IN/OUT ring buffers.

Xen will communicate with xenconsole over the ring buffer and the event
channel to transmit and receive pl011 data on guest domain's behalf.

Changes since v1:

- Replaced the hvm interface with domctl interface

"and the event channel", shouldn't it be one or the other? The
description should be "This function sets the pfn to be used for vuart
communications."

In this case you should remove the part on the pfn.

And "pfn" is likely the wrong name: Do you mean an MFN or a GFN?

Plus considering their fully separate use, the two should form a
union imo.

There should be no need for such an addition.

Yes. I will define a union of the two.

This check was added to return a failure if user tries to call the
vuart domctl in case of x86 (wrong user configuration). If this check
is not there will it not end up calling the default case:
iommu_do_domctl()?

Yes, it will, like for any other unknown/unsupported domctls. The
function is prepared to deal with that.

Hi Bhupinder,

Title: Please avoid the term pfn and use gfn or mfn.

s/pfn/gfn/ also a frame number may not fit in uint32_t. You want to use 
xen_pfn_t.

You want to use evtchn_port_t here.

You can avoid one level of "if" if you do:

if ( !d->arch.vpl011.initialized )
   return -EINVAL.

if ( domctl->u.vuart_op.cmd == .. )

> +        {
> +            if ( domctl->u.vuart_op.cmd == XEN_DOMCTL_VUART_OP_SET_PFN )

I would prefer if you use a switch case for the cmd, this would make 
easier to return an error if the command is not correct rather assuming 
that all others commands means "getting the event channel".

> +            {

There is nothing to prevent vpl011_map_guest_page to be called twice. So 
you would end up to leak memory if XEN_DOMCTL_VUART_OP_SET_PFN is called 
twice.

I don't think -EINVAL is the correct value if not initialized. It would 
be better to be -ENOSYS.

This should be xen_pfn_t and ...

... evtchn_port_t.
