If you just want the patchset of xen-blkback against 2.6.39, go get the this 
branch

stable/xen-blkback-v3.3

from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git

thought you will also need to extra patches on top, which are in in 
stable/backend.base.v3
to compile.

Or you can just get the 2.6.39 stable tree that has those patches and some more 
from

stable/2.6.39.x
