I'll go code up both front and back bits for block and pvfb to see how
it works out in practice, I think I'll have patches later today or
tomorrow ...

Yes.

Yep, those I'll plan to put into a common header file so they can be
shared in any case.  Not sure any more how useful sharing the enum for
the protocol actually is, I'll see when coding up things.

> and a time in xenbus state machine to write the protocol

Same transaction event-channel is written.

stay tuned,
