That reminds me of another question - Maybe I have missed the discussion
on this e-mail list, but in the netback code I have found the following
comment:

        /*
         * We don't support rx-flip path (except old guests who don't
         * grok this feature flag).
         */

I am a little bit confused by that comment - I think it means we would
prefer not to use rx-flip but we have to anyhow for guests that don't
understand the rx-flip-feature. Is that correct? Or does it mean
something else?
Is there some sort of plan to long-term completely remove rx-flip from
netback then?
