I get the domU to boot but the network stops being responsive.
I see this in the Dom0:


(XEN) grant_table.c:362:d0 Bad flags (0) or dom (0). (expected dom 0, flags 103)
[ 6834.488816] vif vif-12-0: 1 mapping in shared page 768 from domain 12
[ 6834.490235] vif vif-12-0: 1 mapping shared-frames 768/769 port 15

Replacing the patch with:

Gets me back to how it worked in Linux v3.2.

But that is just a band-aid fix...
