However, when I went to apply it, it looks like I've made a mess of the various blkfront branches. xen/frontend has some changes from Jan and Ky which are merged into xen/next and the various stable branches. I also have xen/blkfront, which has your last set of changes, which I seem to have forgotten to merge into anything else, and now conflicts non-trivially with xen/blkfront. I'd like to add this new set of patches into xen/blkfront, but it doesn't apply cleanly. Could you look at this and advise me what I should do? Thanks, J > Cheers, > Daniel > >
