Ok, so let me update the git commit description to include this.

I am listed as the maintainer but I would have thought that it should
go through David?

Generally folks listed as specific network driver maintainers are
sub-maintainers under David, so the flow would be You->David->Linus. For
netback I generally don't bother with the "You->" bit but just Ack them
on list and David picks them up.

David, should it go through you or should I stick it in my tree? Here
is the patch with a better git description.

Subject: [PATCH] xen/netfront: add netconsole support.

add polling interface to xen-netfront device to support netconsole

This patch also alters the spin_lock usage to use irqsave variant.
Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt states that start_xmit
can be called with interrupts disabled by netconsole and therefore using
the irqsave/restore locking in this function is looks correct.
