Sensitivity:
In netfront, the current driver reserves pools of grant refs
for the tx and rx paths, each big enough to satisfy one virtual nic.
With more than one nic active you will run out. Both the tx and
rx path will BUG() when you do. This patch creates separate tx and rx
ref pools for each interface.
