From ebbcc0bf0f052e70de2e6d68731dd3224eed4bbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Pau Monne Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 18:32:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libxl: remove the gate that only allows block or regular backing images MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On FreeBSD ZVOLs/disks/partitions are char devices, so libxl must allow it's usage. This is already taken care in the OS-specific bits of libxl by libxl__try_phy_backend, so remove the generic gate.
