Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach to
a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for some users,
so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks. However, this
requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront scans for disks. This
functionality is already present in the Xen linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the
attached patch adds this functionality to the mainline xen-blkfront
implementation. I successfully tested it on a 2.6.25 tree. I build tested it
on 2.6.27-rc3, but couldn't get that tree to boot due to some other bug.
