[PATCH v2 1/4] xenbus: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Fri Jul 08 2016 - 08:25:51 EST


For single items being collected this should be preferred as being more
typesafe (as the compiler can check format string and to-be-written-to
variable match) and more efficient (requiring one less parameter to be
passed).
