<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please consider the following code changes
as Feature Freeze Exceptions. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The first code change is needed to support
the latest XIV release (version 11.5.0) and is very important for us, and
the second code change is simply support for backups. </font>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=1><b>Add domain support for XIV with multitenancy</b></font></tt>

<br>
<br><tt><font size=1><b>Add support for backups to xiv_ds8k driver</b></font></tt>
<br><a href=https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118298/><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118298/</font></a>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Both changes were uploaded, reviewed
and all relevant changes made by Juno-3 date. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Both changes are very small and simple.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Both changes affect only the xiv_ds8k
driver.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Because the changes are small and simple
and have no general affect the risk is negligible. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thank you,</font>
