OOI what's the conflict?

I'd have thought disk backend would be unrelated to hybrid, other than
any backend which uses gnttab I guess (hrm, maybe that's all except for
blkback.).

We'd probably want to have both patches reviewed before accepting
either, wouldn't we? We don't want to commit to an interface on one side
before reviewing the other. (I'm not sure if you mean "submit" as in
"RFC" or as in "please commit this").

That needed necessarily mean they come through simultaneously though,
although review of one might be limited without the other.
