[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxl: add a vkbd device to HVM guests by default

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PV on HVM drivers can connect to the vkbd device to receive mouse and
keyboard events from Qemu. The advantage over USB is that vkbd doesn't
require frequent wakeups in Qemu.
