  • blkback: add 'force_close' to more forcibly tear down the device
  • blkback: make 'destroy' idempotent
  • blkback: measure ring utilisation; segments per request; total
    requests and responses (ok and error)
  • blkback: support indirect descriptors (i.e. large block sizes)
  • blkfront: if the 'connect' string is at all ambiguous, fail rather
    than risk using the wrong disk
  • blkfront: use indirect segments if available
