It does not use jumbo frames no matter what I've tried. I've stared at
the kernel source for some time and IMHO it _should_ work, but it does
not. If I boot a recent kernel (obviously without Xen) then jumbo frames
work perfectly.
Fortunately none of those Xen hosts are performance critical (yet) so I
didn't do any serious kernel debugging. I've also tried compiling a new
AoE module but the (then) current one from Coraid did not build with the
Xen-patched 2.6.18 and I had no time to try older versions.
