Hi Simon,

I'm behind a corporate firewall - I can't SMTP/IMAP - on which git
send-email relies. (And I'm sure you do not want me to send patches
with Outlook.)

At most, without attachments, I can post in-line what patman wanted to send:

P.S. But here a pastebin - http://pastebin.com/JirJw9NX - just in case.

P.P.S. Do not blame me for the formatting, inconsistent with the rest of
the file: patman has insisted.

Subject: [PATCH] storage device support for ub_dev_write

I have stumbled upon the lack of support for storage devices in API's
ub_dev_write()/API_dev_write() functions. Currently the function
supports only the network devices.

I have implemented the support for the storage by adapting the code
from API_dev_read() function, and added the ub_dev_write() to the
glue.c. Interface for the network devices is unchanged.
