The host may send multiple negotiation packets (due to timeout) before the KVP user-mode daemon is connected. We need to defer processing those packets until the daemon is negotiated and connected. It's okay for guest to respond to all negotiation packets. In addition, the host may send multiple staged KVP requests as soon as negotiation is done. We need to properly process those packets using one tasklet for exclusive access to ring buffer. This patch is based on the work of Nick Meier <Nick.Meier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The patch v2 has incorporated suggestion from Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>.
