Subject: Re: [PATCH] drivers: xen-blkback: delay pending_req allocation to
 connect_ring

I would very much prefer for this to be a pre-patch for your multipage
ring series. Do you think you can include it in the next iteration?

This should be XEN_BLKIF_REQS_PER_PAGE (or a similar name of your choice
that reflects that those are the number of requests per ring page).

This is not right, persistent grants and indirect descriptors are
features that can be used independently, so AFAICT this has to be:

	nr_indiret_pages = MAX_INDIRECT_PAGES;
	nr_segs = MAX_INDIRECT_SEGMENTS;
