The goal is to make the virtio-net device support more of the features of a physical NIC and allow the hypervisor to discard packets we don't want. These patches are intended for 2.6.30. This version is just a rebase to current net-next-2.6.git. I'll send Rusty an update to the patch in his queue that led to the patch conflict, this series doesn't depend on it.
