Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.
These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus. These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock. On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices. If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

This communicates with the machine control software via a registry
residing in a controlling virtual machine. This allows dynamic
creation, destruction and modification of virtual device
configurations (network devices, block devices and CPUS, to name some
examples).
