[owen.smith@citrix.com: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2 xen/stable-2.6.32.x] Union the blkif_request request specific fields]

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>]

Jens,

Are you OK with this patch? I was thinking to push it for 2.6.39.
I've it in my tree, but if you would rather carry it for the merge window
it is in 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/blkfront-cleanup


commit cd50f830627fd8ec0d97a73c970ccec9811c6bae
Author: Owen Smith <owen.smith@citrix.com>

    xen: Union the blkif_request request specific fields
    
    Prepare for extending the block device ring to allow request
    specific fields, by moving the request specific fields for
    reads, writes and barrier requests to a union member.
