Sorry, I used linux-next tree for this patch. It looks like the linux.git and 
net tree
has this code, but not net-next.

This commit cause this issue:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c?id=d52eb0d46f3606b9de9965cebb2beb2202a0dc62

So this patch is need for net tree, not net-next. I will rebased this
patch with description changed.
