In order to make sure that XCP 1.1 supports OpenStack, we'll be 
compiling in kernel support for ebtables, etc.. This will be disabled by 
default, so that regular XCP users won't incur the performance penalty 
that this kernel option my bring. Turning ebtables support on in XCP 1.1 
should be as simple as running a sysctl command.
We're currently working on getting an XCP 1.1 build with this kernel 
option enabled, and we'll then test it early next week. If this build 
passes our tests, we'll release it on Friday as our RC 1.
