This patch series updates xen-netback to support the new ring. Patch #1 adds the necessary boilerplate to map the control ring and handle messages. No implementation of the new protocol is included in this patch so that it can be kept to a reasonable size. Patch #2 adds the protocol implementation. Patch #3 adds support for passing has values calculated by xen-netback to capable frontends. Patch #4 adds support for accepting hash values calculated by capable frontends and using them the set the socket buffer hash.
