It looks like it was maverick, you can find a lot of good info here on xen,if you're not using this already:
http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment

I believe the work around Vish is referring to is made in nova.conf:
--xenapi_remap_vbd_dev=true

Give that a go, hopefully gets you on your way!

Cheers,

Wayne
