/*
+ * Multiple hardware queues/rings:
+ * If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
+ * the directory for that vbd, and set its value to the maximum supported
+ * number of queues.
+ * Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
+ * key "multi-queue-num-queues" with the number they wish to use, which must be
+ * greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend in
+ * "multi-queue-max-queues".
+ *
+ * For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
+ * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
+ * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
+ * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
+ *
+ * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
+ * event-channel and ring-ref keys, instead writing those keys under sub-keys
+ * having the name "queue-N" where N is the integer ID of the queue/ring for
+ * which those keys belong. Queues are indexed from zero.
+ * For example, a frontend with two queues must write the following set of
+ * queue-related keys:
+ *
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#1>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"
+ *
+ * It is also possible to use multiple queues/rings together with
+ * feature multi-page ring buffer.
+ * For example, a frontend requests two queues/rings and the size of each ring
+ * buffer is two pages must write the following set of related keys:
+ *
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/ring-page-order = "1"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#1>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#2>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#3>"
+ * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"
