Subject: [PATCH 17 of 24] xen: Add compatibility aliases for frontend drivers
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 10:54:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d188df7879a671d3282d.1207158846@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patchbomb.1207158829@localhost>

From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>

Before getting merged, xen-blkfront was xenblk and
xen-netfront was xennet.

Temporarily adding compatibility module aliases
eases upgrades from older versions by e.g. allowing
mkinitrd to find the new version of the module.
