[Xen-changelog] [qemu-xen-unstable] e1000: Discard packets that are too long if !SBP and !LPE

    e1000: Discard packets that are too long if !SBP and !LPE
    
    The e1000_receive function for the e1000 needs to discard packets longer 
than
    1522 bytes if the SBP and LPE flags are disabled. The linux driver assumes
    this behavior and allocates memory based on this assumption.

    [ This is a security vulnerability, CVE-2012-6075 / XSA-41. ]
