+ xen-blkfront: Drop name and minor adjustments for emulated scsi devices
+
+ These were intended to avoid the namespace clash when representing
+ emulated IDE and SCSI devices. However that seems to confuse users
+ more than expected (a disk defined as sda becomes xvde).
+ So for now go back to the scheme which does no adjustments. This
+ will break when mixing IDE and SCSI names in the configuration of
+ guests but should be by now expected.
