The block device frontend driver allows the kernel to access block
devices exported exported by a virtual machine containing a physical
block device driver.

First, I think this belongs in drivers/block (and the network driver
belongs in drivers/net).  If we're going to bring xen to the party,
lets not leave it hiding out in a corner.

Strongly agreed.


+static void connect(struct blkfront_info *);
+static void blkfront_closing(struct xenbus_device *);
+static int blkfront_remove(struct xenbus_device *);
+static int talk_to_backend(struct xenbus_device *, struct blkfront_info *);
+static int setup_blkring(struct xenbus_device *, struct blkfront_info *);
+
+static void kick_pending_request_queues(struct blkfront_info *);
+
+static irqreturn_t blkif_int(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *ptregs);
+static void blkif_restart_queue(void *arg);
+static void blkif_recover(struct blkfront_info *);
+static void blkif_completion(struct blk_shadow *);
+static void blkif_free(struct blkfront_info *, int);

I'm pretty sure you can rearrange the code to get rid of the forward
references.

I've never thought this was useful... If the function ordering helps the human...


+       switch (backend_state) {
+       case XenbusStateUnknown:
+       case XenbusStateInitialising:
+       case XenbusStateInitWait:
+       case XenbusStateInitialised:
+       case XenbusStateClosed:

This actually should get fixed elsewhere, but SillyCaps???

Agreed.
