Subject: [PATCH 0/3] xen: optimize xenbus performance

The xenbus driver used for communication with Xenstore (all kernel
accesses to Xenstore and in case of Xenstore living in another domain
all accesses of the local domain to Xenstore) is rather simple
especially regarding multiple concurrent accesses: they are just being
serialized in spite of Xenstore being capable to handle multiple
parallel accesses.

Clean up the external interface(s) of xenbus and optimize its
performance by allowing multiple concurrent accesses to Xenstore.

Juergen Gross (3):
  xen: clean up xenbus internal headers
  xen: modify xenstore watch event interface
  xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent xenstore accesses
