I think it is safe to say that the blkback/blkfront still have some
serious bugs to be fixed even in the absences of grant tables.
How many is a lot of VBDs? I've done quite a bit of testing of the devices (with Xend and with VM-Tools) and I've found the block drivers to be very reliable. I've not gone much higher than 3 or 4 VBDs for each domain though.
