Without network reverting to previous commits to test is painful.

I tried some before not that one specifically but I do know for sure that somewhere before that release it was working. 

I have to find some time to make a IMG with that release from my laptop, sadly the laptop is just going to repair because I'm having disk read issues so I won't be able to do it this week, maybe someone else can try?

>From the commit however it does seems like the code assumes tso features are available? but I'm not that much of a coder just guessing. That would explain however why even if I disable tso in the domu it still fails.

Sorry if the feedback is not much helpful at this time and thanks for following up on this.

Is there any reason to not add identify callback? If it's possible, I
would like to avoid as much as possible #ifdef XENHVM in ARM code.
