netfront: device eth0 has flipping receive path.
I'm running 3.0.3 on 2.6.16.29 on debian amd64 on a dual core Opteron 265.
In a debian amd64 domU I see these messages:

netfront: device eth0 has flipping receive path.

I noticed ssh connections to my domU are dropped quite frequently.
But I am not sure if this is related.

Can anyone shed any light on the meaning of the above error?

Thanks

It's not an error, just an informational statement.

If you want to try the 'copying receive path', place 'xennet.rx_copy' on
your domU kernel command line.
