Apart from interacting badly in combination, would either patch in isolation 
work well?

I can think of only one hunk in my patch disagreeing with blkback stuff:
diff --git a/drivers/xen/grant-table.c b/drivers/xen/grant-table.c
index eea81cf..f5681c8 100644

+       for (i = 0; i < count; i++)

                return ret;
 
How would you like to proceed?
