SubjectRe: [patch 37/44] xen: add virtual network device driver

There is now a net_device_stats element inside net_device on
2.6.21 or later.

It might be a performance advantage to reorder/align these
structure elements to put transmit hot elements together, and
put tx and rx on different cache lines?
