[PATCH] xen-blkfront: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Thu Jul 07 2016 - 04:05:57 EST


... for single items being collected: It is more typesafe (as the
compiler can check format string and to-be-written-to variable match)
and requires one less parameter to be passed.
