I'm OK with this patch.
The only reason I can't give R-b for it is that you noted me as
co-author on the patch, and I can't review my own (or co-authored)
patches. But that's not a problem; I actually tried to apply (and then
push) this patch, without any R-b's (with Rich being on PTO).
However, the patch does not apply to master @ 1c8ff404582f. The conflict
is in the trailing context of the patch: the trailing comment in v4
introduces a VZ-specific code section, whereas on the master branch, we
have:
(* Check for hostdev devices. (RHBZ#1472719) *)
let () =
Can you please rebase to the master branch and repost?
(Quickly checking versions 1 through 3 of the patch, those were all
based on the master branch; I think it is only in v4 where you have
based the patch on a downstream-only branch. That's totally fine of
course, but please send the upstream version to the list.)
Oops, my bad. Will send the proper version now.
