Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

My target audience was primarily focused on other groups, like ours,
which are rolling their own XEN implementations and who needed blktap2
functionality.  I know I've spent tons of time trying to ferret out
the patches to get a solid implementation for our needs.  So I wanted
to get something which would get indexed so, hopefully, people would
find this when they need it.

Based on the number of downloads I see for the kernel patches and the
toolstack fixes there seems to be a sizable audience.... :-)

I shipped off the patches just before 4.1.3 was released and copied
Ian and Keir on them but I haven't seen them show up in the
xen-4.1-testing.hg Mercurial tree.  Ian/Keir do you want another round
of the patches?

Best wishes for a productive week.
