        src/sys/arch/xen/xen [netbsd-3]: xennetback.c

Log Message:
Pull up revision 1.11 (requested by bouyer in ticket #327):
- There is a possible race condition with the rx->event stuff, causing
  event not to be sent when one is needed. Fixing this would require
  one hypercall per packet, instead of one per NB_XMIT_PAGES_BATCH pages.
  It's not worth it, so always send an event at the end of xennetback_ifstart()
- there is no callback mechanism to notify us when a guest has handled
  packets we sent. If we stop transmitting because the ring is full or we're
  out of pages when the ifq is also full, nothing will call
  xennetback_ifstart() again and transmit is stalled. Abuse the watchdog
  to kick the transmit queue once second after an out of ressources
  condition.
