Hi,

I'm puzzled as to why:

linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/xen/blkif.h

includes functionality which looks as though it should be common to all
OS implementations. It would certainly seem to make more sense if the code
in this file was moved to:

xen/include/public/io/blkif.h

or (if there's a good reason to keep it in a separate file...)

xen/include/public/io/blkif_protocol.h

(or whatever name)

Can anyone explain why it's located as it is and, if not, can it be be
re-located (and appropriately licensed) under xen/include/public as
described in the include/public/COPYING file?

Gary
