[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: warn if block device major is not xvd's major

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Old style -xen kernels support taking over the hd and sd major numbers
so warn users who reuse old configurations since the minor number
mapping of the majors differs, so hdd->xvde which is at least a bit
more confusing than xvdd.
