Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/7] xen-netback: guest rx side refactor

This series refactors the guest rx side of xen-netback:

- The code is moved into its own source module.

- The prefix variant of GSO handling is retired (since it is no longer
  in common use, and alternatives exist).

- The code is then simplified and modifications made to improve
  performance.

David Vrabel (4):
  xen-netback: refactor guest rx
  xen-netback: immediately wake tx queue when guest rx queue has space
  xen-netback: process guest rx packets in batches
  xen-netback: batch copies for multiple to-guest rx packets

Paul Durrant (2):
  xen-netback: separate guest side rx code into separate module
  xen-netback: retire guest rx side prefix GSO feature

Ross Lagerwall (1):
  xen/netback: add fraglist support for to-guest rx
