Since the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and thus needs this fix. I can break the dependency by putting the same bug that is now in xen-blkfront into xen-fbfront and xen-kbdfront. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
