These don't fix the bug that I fixed in xen-netfront.c.  Specifically,
in talk_to_netback() num_queues needs to be updated after return
from xennet_create_queues(), because the latter might create fewer
queues than requested:

    +   num_queues = info->netdev->real_num_tx_queues;

A related question was whether further improvements are needed to
make it more likely that xennet_create_queues() does not (in typical
use) create fewer queues than requested.  This might mean making
more "grant refs" available to the front end.
