SubjectRe: [Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 01/12] xen-blkback: don't store dev_bus_addr

Interesting that you come up with this, as I have a similar patch
pending (not posted yet), aiming at reducing the stack usage in
dispatch_rw_block_io(): seg[].buf is really unnecessary with the
dev_bus_addr storing removed, as the only reader of that field
can equally well use req->u.rw.seg[i].first_sect.

And then the biolist[] array really can be folded into a union
with the remaining seg[] one, as their usage scopes are easily
separable.

So why do you do this? The only reader masks the field with
~PAGE_MASK anyway.
