ported from xen-unstable.hg to kernel-2.6.18-1.2736.el5

Comment 1 Jarod Wilson 2006-11-27 21:54:56 UTC
This patches in cleanly atop kernel 2.6.18-1.2747.el5, along with the first two
patches from bug 210637 and the blktap patch from bug 208895, and does indeed
eliminate the flurry of unaligned access messages I was previously getting.
