I had intended after the cut to include for reference:

struct xen_netif_tx_request {
    gref => 0
    offset => 4
    flags => 6
    id => 8
    size => 10
}
struct xen_netif_extra_info {
    type => 0
    flags => 1
    u => 2
}
struct xen_netif_tx_response {
    id => 0
    status => 2
}
struct xen_netif_rx_request {
    id => 0
    gref => 4
}
struct xen_netif_rx_response {
    id => 0
    offset => 2
    flags => 4
    status => 6
}

(same for all arches, of course)
