Bundle the lot of discrete variables into a single structure.
This is based on what was done in the xen-netback driver:
xen: netback: Move global/static variables into struct xen_netbk.

("blkback/blktap2: simplify address translations"):
"There are quite a number of places where e.g. page->va->page
translations happen.
Besides yielding smaller code (source and binary), a second goal is to
make it easier to determine where virtual addresses of pages allocated
through alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec() are really used (in turn in
order to determine whether using highmem pages would be possible
there)."
The second goal is not the purpose of this patch - it is just to
make it easier to read the code.

Support dynamic resizing of virtual block devices. This patch supports
both file backed block devices as well as physical devices that can be
dynamically resized on the host side.

We neglect to check the return value of xenbus_register_backend
and take actions when that fails. This patch fixes that and adds
code to deal with those type of failures.
