[Xen-devel] [PATCH] name blkback kernel thread

[Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently the blkback kernel thread doesn't set its own name,
nor does it do some of the other initialisation that it should
do.

This trivial patch makes it call daemonize, like other similar
kernel threads.  Now it shows up in top with a proper name.
The fact that it blocks dangerous signals should help, too ;)
