Hey Ian,

I took a look at and provided some input. I got lost with the
GSO, credit code, fragments, and the host of the other features
that can get negotiated.  Will need to re-educate myself on the
networking code some more.

Sure changed a lot since 2.6.18..

Would it make sense to split the review in the netback and netfront
in two different patchsets (you might need to overlap the headers
that define the operations .. which is OK)?

I don't think you need that file. Yeah, tested and it
compiles fine.

Looks like there was a comment there, but it went away?

How about something less severe? Say return the error code?

Ditto.. or perhaps tie it in with the check below.

to do this and _then_ later report failure in doing it?
