[GIT/PATCH 0/2] Minor fixes to xen-netfront

[Ian Campbell]

I think these are likely for 2.6.37 but if possible the ethtool one
would be nice to have for 2.6.36 since 2.6.36 adds PVHVM support for Xen
(paravirtual drivers for fully-virtualised guests) so it is useful to be
able to see explicitly if eth0 is emulated or PV without having to infer
xen-netfront from:
        # ethtool -i eth0
        Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported

The following changes since commit da5cabf80e2433131bf0ed8993abc0f7ea618c73:
  Linus Torvalds (1):
        Linux 2.6.36-rc1

are available in the git repository at:

[PATCH 1/2] xen: use less generic names in netfront driver.

[Ian Campbell]

All Xen frontend drivers have a couple of identically named functions which
makes figuring out which device went wrong from a stacktrace harder than it
needs to be. Rename them to something specificto the device type.

[PATCH 2/2] xen: netfront: support the ethtool drvinfo hook.

[Ian Campbell]

Causes "ethtool -i" to report something useful:
	# ethtool -i eth0
	driver: xen-netfront
	version:
	firmware-version:
	bus-info: vif-0

This should already be covered by:

    ethtool: Provide a default implementation of ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo

Applied.
