The ipv6-no-autoconf patch didn't disable IPv6 addrconf completely.
This means that the Xen bridge device still interfered with normal
IPv6 operation by engaging the IPv6 network with a bogus MAC address.
For details please refer to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200360
The following patch completely disables IPv6 on the Xen bridge device
by temporarily setting the MTU to a value less than the minimum
allowed for IPv6.
Upstream will provide a cleaner way to disable IPv6 addrconf in
future, possibly in the form of a proc sysctl. Of course if the Xen
loopback device is removed it would render this change unnecessary.

skb_segment fails to segment linear packets correctly because it
tries to write all linear parts of the original skb into each
segment. This will always panic as each segment only contains
enough space for one MSS.
This was not detected earlier because linear packets should be
rare for GSO. In fact it still remains to be seen what exactly
created the linear packets that triggered this bug. Basically
the only time this should happen is if someone enables GSO
emulation on an interface that does not support SG.

Rename xen_machine_kexec() to just machine_kexec() and only compile in
the Xen or native version as appropriate.

Their contents will be added to the sparse tree in a subsequent patch.
Changes to kernel/sys.c in kexec-generic.patch remain for now. These
will be taken care of in a later patch.
