/*
* Older implementation of Xen network frontend / backend has an
* implicit dependency on the MAX_SKB_FRAGS as the maximum number of
* ring slots a skb can use. Netfront / netback may not work as
* expected when frontend and backend have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
*
* A better approach is to add mechanism for netfront / netback to
* negotiate this value. However we cannot fix all possible
* frontends, so we need to define a value which states the minimum
* slots backend must support.
*
* The minimum value derives from older Linux kernel's MAX_SKB_FRAGS
* (18), which is proved to work with most frontends. Any new backend
* which doesn't negotiate with frontend should expect frontend to
* send a valid packet using slots up to this value.

/*
* Notifications after enqueuing any type of message should be conditional on
* the appropriate req_event or rsp_event field in the shared ring.
* If the client sends notification for rx requests then it should specify
* feature 'feature-rx-notify' via xenbus. Otherwise the backend will assume
* that it cannot safely queue packets (as it may not be kicked to send them).
*/
/*
* "feature-split-event-channels" is introduced to separate guest TX
* and RX notificaion. Backend either doesn't support this feature or
* advertise it via xenstore as 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
*
* To make use of this feature, frontend should allocate two event
* channels for TX and RX, advertise them to backend as
* "event-channel-tx" and "event-channel-rx" respectively. If frontend
* doesn't want to use this feature, it just writes "event-channel"
* node as before.
*/
/*
* "feature-no-csum-offload" should be used to turn IPv4 TCP/UDP checksum
* offload off or on. If it is missing then the feature is assumed to be on.
* "feature-ipv6-csum-offload" should be used to turn IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum
* offload on or off. If it is missing then the feature is assumed to be off.
*/
/*
* "feature-gso-tcpv4" and "feature-gso-tcpv6" advertise the capability to
* handle large TCP packets (in IPv4 or IPv6 form respectively). Neither
* frontends nor backends are assumed to be capable unless the flags are
* present.
