> This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy
> structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's
> MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
> 
> It defines max_skb_slots, which is a estimation of the maximum number of slots
> a guest can send, anything bigger than that is considered malicious. Now it is
> set to 20, which should be enough to accommodate Linux (16 to 19).
> 
> Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests.
