If we stick with the existing pciback mechanisms and interfaces for 3.4
(which is preferable at this point) will we simply break 3.4 branch as soon
as the new pciback patches go into linux-2.6.18-xen when 3.5 opens? Or is
there a story on backward compatibility between different pciback/xend
versions?
