staging: visorchipset driver to provide registration and other services
The visorchipset module receives device creation and destruction events from the Command service partition of s-Par, as well as controlling registration of shared device drivers with the s-Par driver core. The events received are used to populate other s-Par modules with their assigned shared devices. Visorchipset is required for shared device drivers to function properly. Visorchipset also stores information for handling dump disk device creation during kdump. In operation, the visorchipset module processes device creation and destruction messages sent by s-Par's Command service partition through a channel. These messages result in creation (or destruction) of each virtual bus and virtual device. Each bus and device is also associated with a communication channel, which is used to communicate with one or more IO service partitions to perform device IO on behalf of the guest.
