Hi, all

I've finished a Xen prototype for virtio transport layer. I would like
to make sure it works as expected before I proceed to specific
drivers.

I'm planning to write simple test backend and dummy front driver. But
I have difficulty understanding how Xen front driver (e.g.
xen-blkfront) is probed and loaded.

Do I just need to setup corresponding xenstore entries and it will
work out of the box?

Thanks.

Wei.
