This does point toward either the netfront/back dropping the traffic,
but it's rather unlikely that this would happen without one of the
error/drop counters being bumped. 

Perhaps the easiest way of tracking this down would be to add some
tracing to the receive interrupt of netback. printk a "*" whenever a
packet is received and see if it gets that far. If not, add something to
the start_xmit function in netfront.
