Xen devel - Apr 2007 - blkback does not copy full id from request to response

I just noticed that the linux block backend does not copy the full 64 bits
of the id field of a request to the associated response.  The blkif.h states
 that this is echoed in the response.  An unsigned long in make_response
is used as an intermediary.

This would sure be helpful to me if the full 64 bits were echoed.
