To confuse this, Roger and I are the block sub-maintainers, which
when we are happy, I send to Jens, while the rest go through Boris,David, and 
Juergen.

Anyhow, I've already committed and tested for regressions these:
79ef83a xen-blkback: constify instance of "struct attribute_group"
5e4d659 xen-blkfront: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()
e9d1ebe xen-blkback: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()
5b3b1db xen-blkback: really don't leak mode property

And plan to send them to Jens. They will shortly be at my git tree
under 'stable/for-jens-4.8'.
