Subject[GIT PULL] xen blkfront barrier updates
Hi Jens,

Here's the xen-blkfront barrier changes we discussed in Boston (its
identical to the last posted version).

The only comment was Christoph pointing out EOPNOTSUPP is not used in
the block interface, but blkfront is just using it as a local
placeholder and it never gets returned up to the block layer.

I still haven't sorted out what's going on with the backends; we
definitely need either a FLUSH operation or make empty WRITE_BARRIER
work to flush disk caches.

Thanks,
J
