Thread-topic: [PATCH] Virtual machine queue NIC support in control panel
This patch enables virtual machine queue NIC support in control panel 
(xm/xend), so user can add or remove dedicated queue for a guest.

Virtual machine queue is a technology for network devices, which intends to 
reduce the burden on the hypervisor while improving network I/O performance 
through the virtualized platform. Some vendors have lunched their products, 
like Intel(R) 82575/82598 (for more information of this technology: 
http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/virtualization/VMDq_whitepaper.pdf).

This patch requires a vendor-specified utility to control the NIC.

This patch also could be applied to netchannel2.
