Raised the headrum size from 200 to 512.  I've got "Received packet
needs 120 bytes more headroom." in my syslog, so 200 is obviously too small.

We believe that this is fixed by recent changes to the network driver,
notably these changesets in xen-unstable:
linux-2.6-xen-sparse cset: 4e9c643968ffd0526258dc1ae7d1fee6123be718
linux-2.6-xen-sparse cset: c976c1ff806aa46c989fb5b1d84b311519fb0456

Yep, patch looks ok and the problem seems to be gone.

cheers,

  Gerd
