xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstore Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore. Since the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and thus needs this fix.
