Hi Mingjin, in general the patch looks ok to me.

A general question of the behaviour of block and allow, is it always the case that the two are not allowed to be used side by side?
I had a look through the EAL documentation and didn't see and mention of this behaviour, but maybe I missed it?

Thanks
ian
