message - see bug #183.  It was pointed out to me that it might be
possible to adjust this manually in xen/include/xen/grant_table.h,
however, setting ORDER_GRANT_FRAMES to 3 to get more pages of grant
tables doesn't change anything.  Sooo, question #1: how can I alter the
code to get more grant tables such that more nics per domU will become
available?  Question #2: is it planned to make this configurable, e.g.
by boot option for dom0?

1: you need to edit NR_GRANT_FRAMES in linux/include/asm-xen/gnttab.h

2: yes, it will eventually be manually configurable with a higher default 'maximum'
