As a reminder, the wiki page is
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv

This release fixes a bug which could be hit under high disk load (high
number of outstanding requests with fragmented sg lists) and would
reduce performance dramatically - my iometer testing went from 23MB/s to
0.5MB/s!

Also, xenvbd will now dump some stats to the kernel debug logs (use
debugview from sysinternals to view these) every 60 seconds. I'm not
sure how useful these might be yet.
