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

Hi Dave,

OK, let's try that again.

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.  This merges cleanly with 
current linux-next (it previously just had a small constification conflict).

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

Thanks,
     J
