All,
     As pointed out by Christopher Head, the ioctl I hijacked with the extended
block device numbers works on 64-bit, but actually fails on 32-bit.
Additionally, Keir pointed out that we should really maintain backwards
compatibility so that older dom0 kernels will work with newer tools and
vice-versa.  Finally, I found a bug in the blkfront implementation of the
extended devices.  All 3 of these issues should be addressed in the following
patches.  Note again that I developed these on RHEL-5, and only compile-tested
against xen-unstable.  Further note that I didn't check if these work on 32-bit,
so if someone could give them a whirl there, it would be appreciated.
