+ * This is the message passed between the host (user-mode Linux instance)
+ * and the calendar (the application on the other side of the socket) in
+ * order to implement common scheduling.
+ *
+ * Whenever UML has an event it will request runtime for it from the
+ * calendar, and then wait for its turn until it can run, etc. Note
+ * that it will only ever request the single next runtime, i.e. multiple
+ * REQUEST messages override each other.
