H A Dsysfs-driver-xen-blkfrontdiff 74a852479c68e4efb3865d5436fd69ec4f819f96 Wed Sep 23 08:18:40 CEST 2020 SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de> xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants

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. It can be disabled from blkback side using a
module parameter, 'feature_persistent'. But, it is impossible from
blkfront side. For the reason, this commit adds a blkfront module
parameter for disabling of the feature.
