xen-netback: split event channels support for Xen backend driver
Netback and netfront only use one event channel to do TX / RX notification,
which may cause unnecessary wake-up of processing routines. This patch adds a
new feature called feature-split-event-channels to netback, enabling it to
handle TX and RX events separately.
Netback will use tx_irq to notify guest for TX completion, rx_irq for RX
notification.
If frontend doesn't support this feature, tx_irq equals to rx_irq.
