xen pvfb: Dynamic mode support (screen resizing)
The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory. xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change. Fully backwards compatible both ways. Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video. The backend enforces a separate size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore directory. xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it. Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit system with 4K pages). Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported, yet.
