At the end of the patch series adding this batch of event channel acceleration features, finally add the feature bit which advertises them and document it all. For SCHEDOP_poll we need to wake a polling vCPU when a given port is triggered, even when it's masked — and we want to implement that in the kernel, for efficiency. So we want the kernel to know that it has sole ownership of event channel delivery. Thus, we allow userspace to make the 'promise' by setting the corresponding feature bit in its KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG call. As we implement SCHEDOP_poll bypass later, we will do so only if that promise has been made by userspace.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
