I think bugzilla 625 is caused by compiling the scsi disk driver into
the domU kernel.  xen_blk can't then get the SCSI major number 8.  This
is a usability issue because people create broken domU kernels and then
raise bugs.  What's the best fix?  Changing the Kconfig files to
prohibit built in scsi disk when blkfront is enabled?  Is there a better
option?

Thanks,
Harry.
