[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mostly PV protocols.

Signed-off-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since v2:
- Define "having xl support" as a requirement for Tech Preview and Supported
- ...and remove backend from xl support section
- Add OpenBSD blkback
- Fix Linux backend names
- Remove non-existent implementation (PV USB Linux)
- Remove support for PV keyboard in Windows (Fix in qemu tree didn't make it)
