I just checked the following bug fix into net-2.6

Rusty, have a quick look at virtio_net wrt. the changes I
made to skb_to_sgvec()'s behavior.  I think I might have
even fixed something :-)

Grr, the scatterlist changes are really pissing me off.  We get ugly tricky 
code *and* transition pain.

I hate to suggest this, but I don't supposed there's a chance we can revert it 
for 2.6.24 and do something cleaner for 2.6.25?
