Hi Ben,

I think there will some xapi/XCP folks there who I expect would be
interested in talking networking and vswitch in that context.

In the context of xen-unstable and the libx/xl toolstacks there's not
much required for vswitch integration -- just a working hotplug script
mechanism and a suitable script. I actually have patches for the script
growing stale in my queue -- they don't work because of issues with
hotplug script running on shutdown (basically the xenstore info is gone
when the script runs so we can't remove the VIF from the switch). Roger
Pau Monee has a patch series fixing hotplug scripts and once it goes in
I'll resurrect my old patches.

Ian.
