Ian, thanks for your initiative in moving this forward. Based on your comment and your offer to help/guide me in the process, I am happy to give this a try. In the end this excercise might be more work for you than just fixing it yourself, but it might pay off in the long run. I did actually have a look at the relevant source for the xen netback code already a couple of days ago and think that I have already identified (at least parts of) the code that requires change. Unfortunately I failed miserable in finding the commit e00f85bec0a9 you were/are referring to in your mails (I used google to search, but nothing came up) and therefore thought it being too risky to just change what I thought needs changing - albeit that's part of the kernel and could just bring down a system if changed inappropriately. So if you could provide me with a link to that commit, I have something to start from and make myself familiar with the required changes.
