Just a note on transports here, I totally had forgotten about trans_xen
when we discussed this earlier as it is fairly new, but it looks like it
sets the length in the fcall properly so it should work without any
change.

I however cannot test trans=xen, so if someone could either point me to
how to set that up (I couldn't find any decent documentation) or do some
very basic tests that would be great.

Looks good to me, as the rdma/virtio part come from my suggestion:

(nitpick, I'd keep the empty line here. If you don't mind I'll add it
back in my tree; this doesn't warrant a v2)
