[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] libxl: remove the gate that only allows block or regular backing images

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On FreeBSD ZVOLs/disks/partitions are char devices, so libxl must
allow it's usage. This is already taken care in the OS-specific bits
of libxl by libxl__try_phy_backend, so remove the generic gate.

Changes since v2:
 - Remove the generic gate instead of adding support for char devices.
