Hello Ulf,

Version v2 should be applied without v1, they are not additional
patches, it's a revision of the same patches (trying to apply both will
lead to errors). To simplify it I've pushed the patches to my git repo,
so you can fetch them easily:

$ git clone -b vif_route_v2 git://xenbits.xen.org/people/royger/xen.git

More information about how to build Xen from source can be found at
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source#Building_from_Source.

Hope this helps, Roger.
