Subject: [PATCH] xen-blkfront patches for 2.6.40.

I am proposing these three patches for 2.6.40. 

 [PATCH 1/3] xen-blkfront: fix data size for xenbus_gather in blkfront_connect

fixes a bug, while these two:
 [PATCH 2/3] xen-blkfront: Provide for 'feature-flush-cache' the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_FLUSH_CACHE operation.
 [PATCH 3/3] xen-blkfront: Introduce BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE support.

Provide the functionality to use the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_FLUSH_CACHE operation, which is
negotiated with the backend if the 'feature-flush-cache' is advertised. Currently there
are three OSes that advertise this flag: NetBSD 5.1 (and unstable), Linux
(devel/xen-blkback-v3.1), and Solaris.

I've tested it with success on NetBSD 5.1 Dom0, and with Linux v2.6.39-rc6 with
the devel/xen-blkback-v3.1 patches.

The git tree with these patches is:
