I guess this is you tuning with page order? And here is not the only one
place you changed?

As a matter of fact, in the previous patch 8 I encode hard limit 2 on
the ring page order, your change here will stop FE / BE from connecting.

I think I will also need to change this to something like

  #define XENNET_MAX_RING_PAGE_ORDER XENBUS_MAX_RING_PAGE_ORDER

to remind people to modify that value.

Thanks for this, I will squash it into my patch.
