FYI the corresponding xapi changes are in a branch here: https://github.com/djs55/xen-api/tree/hackathon The only code which remains in the xapi VIF hotplug/unplug paths concerns ethtool settings for VIFs. This could be ported separately if desired. xapi used to have code for setting the device "protocol" field in xenstore, depending on the PV kernel architecture. According to IanC, this was always unnecessary for netback so it has been removed from xapi (and not added to libxl) This was all work done last week at the xen hackathon. Comments, criticism etc. are welcome! Signed-off-by: David Scott
