XenServer configurations that advertise the multi-page ring extension,
but only allow a single page of ring space.
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
If only one page of ring space is being used, do not publish
in the XenStore the number of pages in use (1), via either
of the supported multi-page ring extension schemes.
Single page operation is the same with or without the
ring-page extension being negotiated. Relying on the
legacy behavior avoids an incompatible difference in how
the two ring-page extension schemes that are out in the
wild, deal with the base case of a single page. The
Amazon/Red Hat drivers use the same XenStore variable as
if the extension was not negotiated. The Citrix drivers
assume the new ring reference XenStore variables will be
available
