RE: [Xen-devel][PATCH] ioemu: ignore the arg of tapdisk

[Dutch Meyer <dmeyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, that does seem to be the conclusion, but it's very wrong.

Let me try again to clear this up.  The args in tapdisk problem has 
NOTHING to do with blktap2. It was a change made for ioemu in 19346.
Since the first prefix "tap" means tapdisk, the second prefix is an oddly 
structured hack to use some of the tapdisk infrastructure towards a new 
end.  Is anyone actually using this?  If not, maybe we should cut it to 
avoid the confusion-inducing clutter.
