Xen devel - Mar 2009 - [PATCH] implement support for splitting requests in block-vbd

Hi all,
the main issue with stubdoms at the moment is that the new dma api does
not support an upper limit for the number of sectors in a single dma
transfer.
This means that block-vbd can issue blkfront_aio transfers that exceed
the blktap limit BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST.
The attached qemu patch makes block-vbd split any request bigger than
the limit above.
The small xen patch is also needed to change struct blkfront_aiocb.
