The following patch set improves the network acceleration plugin API in
Xen through a series of additions and minor bug fixes.

1/6: Add the acceleration config option to "xm network-attach"

2/6: Modify the way that acceleration is configured so you now specify
the physical network interface to use for acceleration. 

3/6: Add a version number (and associated checks) to the API between
netback and the backend acceleration plugin.

4/6: Add a version number (and associated checks) to the API between
netfront and the frontend acceleration plugin.

5/6: Prevent the backend plugin from unloading while it is in use

6/6: Cleanup dangling reference to netfront state when interface is
removed

Signed-off-by: Kieran Mansley <kmansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 

It would be great if these could be applied to xen-unstable.hg

Thanks

Kieran
