But you need to specify what xenbits tree you intend this to be
applied to, and there you have the choice between 2.6.18,
XCI/XCP, and (not really on xenbits) pv-ops. Since the forward
porting of the 2.6.18 tree doesn't generally leave the files in
drivers/xen/scsi*/ completely untouched, it cannot be taken as
given that the patch you used on top of .31/.34 will apply as-is
on .18.
