Xen devel - Jun 2006 - [PATCH] add multiline flag to regular expression search expressions in block integrity tests

The 02_block_device_write_verify.py test that I wrote is failing because
the regular expression to extract the md5sum is only looking at the
first line of output and the sum is in a subsequent line (after the
output from dd).

This patch fixes the test by adding the multiline flag to the search
parameters so that the search looks in all lines of the output for the
md5sum.  I added the multiline flag in all searches to make the tests
more robust against changes in the output format of the commands used.

I''m not exactly sure how this slipped through my testing.  I suspect
that I forgot to install the new python file after updating the test to
use dd and then tested the old version a second time by accident.
Either that or it really did work when I tested it and the output format
has changed for some reason.

I tested this patch against xen-unstable 10326 and the 02 test fails
without the patch and succeeds with it.

Thanks to James Dykman for some help with this.
