Interesting - I was just composing an almost identical note; we've been
seeing some horrible network blackouts in migration that are caused by a
failure to send the gratuitous ARP (blackouts vary from 0-50+ seconds
when the domain is idle and just being pinged from outside).

In my case, I NEVER see the gratuitous ARP being sent (confirmed using
tcpdump on peth0 in Dom0) and the return value from dev_queue_xmit is
sometimes 0 and sometimes 2 (that's PLUS 2 -- congestion notification
[NET_XMIT_CN]).

My next step was going to be to add instrumentation to netback but I
thought I would ask if this is a known issue with 3.0.3 first...
