Our 2.6.18 tree is not much used now. A more useful destination for the
kernel portion would be upstream Linux (via linux-kernel mailing list),
since this doesn't seem to be Xen specific. This would also get networking
maintainers' eyes on the patch, which would be interesting -- I've never
heard of VEPA.
