🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The xbf driver provides support for a paravirtual disk interface called "Blkfront", native to the Xen hypervisor. slay, that’s the whole vibe ✨

During attach, the xbf driver will ask the hypervisor to switch all configured virtual disks over to the Blkfront interface — regardless of the VM configuration. not me being extra about it, but that’s literally what it does 💅
