/*
 * `incontents 150 evtchn Event Channels
 *
 * Event channels are the basic primitive provided by Xen for event
 * notifications. An event is the Xen equivalent of a hardware
 * interrupt. They essentially store one bit of information, the event
 * of interest is signalled by transitioning this bit from 0 to 1.
 *
 * Notifications are received by a guest via an upcall from Xen,
 * indicating when an event arrives (setting the bit). Further
 * notifications are masked until the bit is cleared again (therefore,
 * guests must check the value of the bit after re-enabling event
 * delivery to ensure no missed notifications).
 *
 * Event notifications can be masked by setting a flag; this is
 * equivalent to disabling interrupts and can be used to ensure
 * atomicity of certain operations in the guest kernel.
 *
 * Event channels are represented by the evtchn_* fields in
 * struct shared_info and struct vcpu_info.
