This is the sync up with the canonical definitions of the input,
sound and display protocols in Xen.

Changes to kbdif:
1. Add missing string constants for {feature|request}-raw-pointer
      to align with the rest of the interface file.

2. Add new XenStore feature fields, so it is possible to
individually
      control set of exposed virtual devices for each guest OS:
        - set feature-disable-keyboard to 1 if no keyboard device
needs
          to be created
        - set feature-disable-pointer to 1 if no pointer device
needs
          to be created

3. Move multi-touch device parameters to backend nodes: these are
       described as a part of frontend's XenBus configuration
nodes
       while they belong to backend's configuration. Fix this by
moving
       the parameters to the proper section.

Unique-id field:
1. Add unique-id XenBus entry for virtual input and display.

2. Change type of unique-id field to string for sndif to align
with
display and input protocols.

I'm fine with this patch being added via the input tree with the
other
patches. In case I should take it via the Xen tree, please send me
a
note.
Juergen,

I created an immutable branch off v4.17 with these 3 patches in
case
you
would want to merge them into your tree without waiting for them to
appear in mainline:

git pull
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git
ib/4.17-xen-kbdfront-runtime-config
Thanks.

Thank you,
I would prefer the fastest path of course
It will be part of 4.19 pull request; the immutable branch is for
Juergen if he does not want to wait till 4.19 merge window to get the
changes.
Ah, I see. Juergen, can we please merge this via Xen tree then which
I assume will be faster?
We are in the tail end of 4.18 merge window so it should not make it in 4.18 no 
matter what tree the patches will go through.
Hm, but these are updates and fixes (besides the last patch which adds some more
functionality), so I thought this is still good to go in 4.18?

Thanks.
