[Xen-devel] [2/9] [NET] front: Move rx req pushing to one spot

[Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

[NET] front: Move rx req pushing to one spot

This patch moves all rx request pushing to network_alloc_rx_buffers.
This is needed to reduce churn for TSO.  More importantly, this makes
it easier to send notifications when adding rx requests which is
required for having a queue in dom0.

Cheers,
