[PATCH v3 0/3] xen-blk(back|front): Let users disable persistent grants
From: SeongJae Park Persistent grants feature provides high scalability. On some small systems, however, it could incur data copy overheads[1] and thus it is required to be disabled. But, there is no option to disable it. For the reason, this commit adds module parameters for disabling of the feature.
