Your subject line lacks a proper subsystem prefix, in this case
an appropriate one might be "xen-netback: "

Also, your patch was corrupted by your email client, transforming
TAB characters into spaces.  This makes the patch unusable.

Please read Documentation/email-clients.txt on how to fix this
and how to submit uncorrupted patches properly.

Email a test patch to yourself, and do not attempt to resend this
patch to the mailing list until you can successfully apply the test
patch you send to yourself.

Thanks.
