Any reason you're using the old crappy xen I/O code instead of Rusty's alternative version?
Also please stop this stupid front/back naming. In Linux terminology the frontend is the client if there's a need for a postfix at all, and the backend the server. Compare that to e.g. ibm vio. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
