xen/blkback: Make description more obvious.

2011-08-09T15:12:14Z

With the frontend having Xen but the backend not, it just looks odd: <*> Xen virtual block device support <*> Block-device backend driver Fix it to have the 'Xen' in front of it. Reported-by: Sander Eikelenboom Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

loop: add BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=%i to allow distros 0 pre-allocated loop devices

2011-07-31T20:08:04Z

Instead of unconditionally creating a fixed number of dead loop devices which need to be investigated by storage handling services, even when they are never used, we allow distros start with 0 loop devices and have losetup(8) and similar switch to the dynamic /dev/loop-control interface instead of searching /dev/loop%i for free devices.
