Add a parameter for setting the resolution of xen-kbdfront in order to
be able to cope with a (virtual) frame buffer of arbitrary resolution.

is this by intention that you use 0444 here?
It means read-only, thus one cannot change these,
so what is the point of the module parameters then?
You can see the settings in sysfs.
this is good so we can see actual width/height
used by the pv driver
The values are settable via boot parameter.
but then, if one has other values set in XenStore,
these will/may be overridden, making it inconsistent,
e.g. values loaded at start as module parameters
(*size* array) is not going to be updated on
XenbusStateInitWait/XenbusStateConnected. So, we'll
end up with wrong parameters shown via sysfs
one more question is why do we need module parameters
if the same can be read from XenStore?

Thank you,
Oleksandr
