[Xen-devel] [PATCH] [RESEND] Don't mount raw blktap disks for pygrub

[Mark McLoughlin <markmc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

(Doesn't seem to be in the staging tree; re-sending just in case it
slipped through the cracks)

Hi,
        Currently, we mount all blktap disks for pygrub so that it can boot
from e.g. QCOW images. However, since pygrub will handle a raw image
just fine without mounting through blktap, we shouldn't bother in that
case.

        Also, it looks like XendDomainInfo.create_vbd() takes the full disk
uname rather than the image path.

  Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Cheers,
Mark.
