Subject: [GIT PULL] xen-netfront driver updates for 2.6.36

  Hi Dave,

Here's a git branch with some updates to the Xen netfront driver, which 
add a new "smartpoll" mode to the netfront backend protocol, which is 
basically equivalent to interrupt mitigation.  They've been in 
linux-next for a week or so.

Do you want to take this via the net tree, or are you OK with me 
submitting them directly?

Thanks,
     J
