Hey Jens,
Please git pull the following git branch:
git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-jens-3.3
in your 3.3 drivers branch (which I don't see on your git tree actually?)
This branch provides a new feature to the blkback/blkfront protocol, which was suggested by Christoph Hellwig which is the 'secure-discard' operation.
That is now implemented - it required a bit of packing the structs to re-use a reserved field and doing tons of tests. As part of that feature, Li added the support to passthrough the discard operation to the loopback device.
Also some code movement suggested by Jan Beulich and lastly a fix for allocating an array.
Thanks and please pull!
