Konrad writes:

Please git pull the following branch:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-jens-3.8

which has a bug-fix to the xen-blkfront and xen-blkback driver
when using the persistent mode. An issue was discovered where LVM
disks could not be read correctly and this fixes it. There
is also a change in llist.h which has been blessed by akpm.
