    xen / notify: introduce a new XenWatchList abstraction · 374752a2
    Paul Durrant authored
    
    Xenstore watch call-backs are already abstracted away from XenBus using
    the XenWatch data structure but the associated NotifierList manipulation
    and file handle registration is still open coded in various xen_bus_...()
    functions.
    This patch creates a new XenWatchList data structure to allow these
    interactions to be abstracted away from XenBus as well. This is in
    preparation for a subsequent patch which will introduce separate watch lists
    for XenBus and XenDevice objects.
    
    NOTE: This patch also introduces a new notifier_list_empty() helper function
          for the purposes of adding an assertion that a XenWatchList is not
          freed whilst its associated NotifierList is still occupied.
