/*
* `incontents 150 evtchn Event Channels
*
* Event channels are the basic primitive provided by Xen for event
* notifications. An event is the Xen equivalent of a hardware
* interrupt. They essentially store one bit of information, the event
* of interest is signalled by transitioning this bit from 0 to 1.
*
* Notifications are received by a guest via an upcall from Xen,
* indicating when an event arrives (setting the bit). Further
* notifications are masked until the bit is cleared again (therefore,
* guests must check the value of the bit after re-enabling event
* delivery to ensure no missed notifications).
*
* Event notifications can be masked by setting a flag; this is
* equivalent to disabling interrupts and can be used to ensure
* atomicity of certain operations in the guest kernel.
*
* Event channels are represented by the evtchn_* fields in
* struct shared_info and struct vcpu_info.
