XenStore is a key/value database, which is running on another virtual
machine. It can be accessed through shared memory. This is a client
implementation.
Change in V3:
- moving xs_wire.h from patch #1 to this patch

xenstore ring does not notify through the event channel.
This is done with the new XenStoreWaitForEvent function.
- Have XenStoreReadReply check status of XenStoreProcessMessage and
return an error if needed.
- Have XenStoreTalkv return the status of XenStoreReadReply.
- Have a loop to check for the quiescent of the response ring in the
XenStoreInitComms function. (with a timeout of 5 seconds)
- use the recently introduced XenStore 'closing' feature.
Change in V2:
- Change comment style, from freebsd to ovmf
- Fix type of EventChannel
- Fix debug print, no more cast
- Implement XenStoreDeinit.
- Clean up comments
- Fix few codding style issue
- Add FAIL xenstore status value.
