I noticed that the xen patch patches drivers like the e1000 driver, why is
it touching these drivers and if i'm using the latest e1000 driver from
intel do i need to make modifications to it. I checked and the patch wont
apply cleanly to the latest e1000 drivers, many things have looked to have
changed.

I think nearly every driver was touched in the backport of the net GSO
patch. Those extra patches will go away when we move to a more recent 2.6
kernel.
