Thanks for this.  However, when I went to apply it, it looks like I've
made a mess of the various blkfront branches. 

xen/frontend has some changes from Jan and Ky which are merged into
xen/next and the various stable branches.

I also have xen/blkfront, which has your last set of changes, which I
seem to have forgotten to merge into anything else, and now conflicts
non-trivially with xen/blkfront.  I'd like to add this new set of
patches into xen/blkfront, but it doesn't apply cleanly.

Could you look at this and advise me what I should do?

Thanks,
    J
