hi, xen/utils/blkif.py imported log from xen.xend.XendLogging but never uses. Other tools rather than xend can easily get the block device id by calling blkdev_name_to_number(). So it's useful to other tools. But the dependency on XendLogging prevents it from directly resuing. This patch removes the dependency on XendLogging from xen/utils/blkif.py. thanks, zhigang
