these packet to its ports,
   and it is not needed.

[4.1.3-25.el5.8]
- xen: increase default max grant frames from 32 to 64.
   We advertise as being able to launch 32VIFs and 8 VBDs.
   But currently the amount of frames that a guest uses is
   based on this simple algebra:
     So if we have 31VIFs we cannot have any more VBDs nor any
   more VIFs. By increasing the value to 64 we have some extra
   headroom _and_ we can have at least 8VBDs (or more).

[4.1.3-25.el5.7]
- Current Xend allowing multiple call destroy() for the same domain, 
this lead
   multiple hard resets(FLR) for pci pass-through, and some controller might
   failed.
   In our test, we pass through 2 LSI HAB controllers to the PVHVM 
guest, after
   guest brought up, call xm-destroy twice, the adapters's BIOS will 
hung, and
   we had to reboot the server to recovery it.
   BTW: I had send this patch to Xen maillist, but developer said Xend will
   obsolete and would not review and merge the fix.
