For some use cases when Xen framebuffer/input backend
is not a part of Qemu it is required to disable it,
because of conflicting access to input/display devices.
Introduce additional configuration option for explicit
input/display control.

In these cases when you don't want xenfb, why don't you just remove
"vfb" from the xl config file? QEMU only starts the xenfb backend when
requested by the toolstack.

Is it because you have an alternative xenfb backend? If so, is it really
fully xenfb compatible, or is it a different protocol? If it is a
different protocol, I suggest you rename your frontend/backend PV device
name to something different from "vfb".


Well, offending part is vkbd actually (for multi-touch
we run our own user-space backend which supports
kbd/ptr/mtouch), but vfb and vkbd is the same backend
in QEMU. So, I am ok for vfb, but just want vkbd off
So, there are 2 options:
1. At compile time remove vkbd and still allow vfb
2. Remove xenfb completely, if acceptable (this is my case)
