Merge branch 'xen_netback'
xen-netback: IPv6 offload support
====================
This patch series adds support for checksum and large packet offloads
into xen-netback. Testing has mainly been done using the Microsoft
network hardware certification suite running in Server 2008R2 VMs with
Citrix PV frontends.
v2:
- Fixed Wei's email address in Cc lines
v3:
- Responded to Wei's comments:
- netif.h now updated with comments and a definition of
XEN_NETIF_GSO_TYPE_NONE.
- limited number of pullups
- Responded to Annie's comments:
- New GSO_BIT macro
v4:
- Responded to more of Wei's comments
- Remove parsing of IPv6 fragment header and added warning
v5:
- Added comment concerning the value chosen for PKT_PROT_LEN
- Dropped deprecation of feature-no-csum-offload
====================
