New Revision: 233465
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/233465

Log:
  Correct failure to attach the PV block front device on Citrix
  XenServer configurations that advertise the multi-page ring extension,
  but only allow a single page of ring space.
  
  sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
  	If only one page of ring space is being used, do not publish
  	in the XenStore the number of pages in use (1), via either
  	of the supported multi-page ring extension schemes.
  
  	Single page operation is the same with or without the
  	ring-page extension being negotiated.   Relying on the
  	legacy behavior avoids an incompatible difference in how
  	the two ring-page extension schemes that are out in the
  	wild, deal with the base case of a single page.  The
  	Amazon/Red Hat drivers use the same XenStore variable as
  	if the extension was not negotiated.  The Citrix drivers
  	assume the new ring reference XenStore variables will be
  	available
