I see what they're doing, and looks ok, but we should really push stuff like this upstream first. Is Amazon planning on posting this patch to xen-devel and lkml? Or should we take it through the phases? The backend part is missing. Maybe this is a private Amazon patch? We would need to include that in our RHEL5 kernel first. I'm cloning this bug for RHEL5 too. Ben, did you (plan to) engage upstream at all with this patch?

Created attachment 449523 [details] Amazon-provided kernel patch Amazon proposed a patch to get better performance out of EBS-backed AMIs. It is based on 2.6.35, and well tested according to them. I've attached it here for review & consideration.
