I notice that this mostly a cut-n-paste of a very old version
of the spidernet device driver.  Please note that the old
spidernet had absolutely disasterous performance for transmit;
it also had a variety of crazy hangs and lockups under 
high-stress conditions; or NFS operation, or certain back-to-back
tcp usage scenarios. A few dozen bugfixes went in since
the time that the gelic snapshot was taken.

Wouldn't it be better to just add the hypervisor bits-n-pieces 
to spidernet?  That way, you get not only the various fixes, but 
also the benefit of fairly regular testing...
