Xen devel - Oct 2007 - [PATCH 0/6] Network acceleration improvements

The following patch set improves the network acceleration plugin API in
Xen through a series of additions and minor bug fixes.

1/6: Add the acceleration config option to "xm network-attach"

2/6: Modify the way that acceleration is configured so you now specify
the physical network interface to use for acceleration. 

3/6: Add a version number (and associated checks) to the API between
netback and the backend acceleration plugin.

4/6: Add a version number (and associated checks) to the API between
netfront and the frontend acceleration plugin.

5/6: Prevent the backend plugin from unloading while it is in use

6/6: Cleanup dangling reference to netfront state when interface is
removed

It would be great if these could be applied to xen-unstable.hg

Thanks

Kieran

All applied.

I can see these being stripped out at some point in the future, if the accel
framework gets submitted upstream. Binary blobs with shifting versioned ABIs
are guaranteed to make the kernel guys vomit.
