Oww.  In my experience, Coccinelle is both awesome and terrible.  I hope
you didn't do all that work just to address minor complaints from me.  I
*try* to make it clear where on the spectrum from "I want you to improve
this" to "perhaps you'd like to try this idea" my review comments are,
but I'm certainly not perfect there.  Anyway, here we are, so let's look
at the patches.

Quick eye-over: you no longer wrap nbd_co_receive_cmdread_reply(),
nbd_co_receive_blockstatus_reply(), and xen_bus_realize().  Clearly
better.

Thanks for the write-up!
