block devices to other guests via a high-performance shared-memory

The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND configuration option.

in the XenBus configuration. There are no limits to what the block
device as long as it has a major and minor.

If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen block backend driver
