 kernels."

Let me just post the one that I've succesfully tested. Not sure
about the need for the check for q->elvator in the dispatch_rw_block_io
so if you guys want me to remove it I can certainly do it.

    xen/blkback: Add support for old BARRIER requests - 'feature-barrier'
    
    Recent kernels do not support BARRIER operation but only FLUSH operation. But
    older xenblk frontends still use the BARRIER operation to achieve data
    integrity requirements. So add support for BARRIER operation into xenblk
    backend so that all guests do not corrupt their filesystem on host crash.
