Subject: [PATCH] block: support /dev/xvd* nodes
To: LEDE Development List <lede-dev at lists.infradead.org>

Xen provides paravirtualized block devices which most often appear as
/dev/xvd*. This patch adds this pattern to those known to the block
utilitiy. These devices require a kernel compiled with the xen-blkfront
driver.
