The following patch series makes it possible to run Remus on top of
pvops dom0. Specifically, it uses the IFB device (included with newer kernels)
for buffering outbound network traffic, instead of the old 3rd-party IMQ patch.

It also cleans up some bugs in the python rtnetlink bindings, supports
guests with multiple VIFs, and allocates unused IFB/IMQ devices to allow
concurrent protection of multiple guests.

No non-Remus code is touched by these patches. With these patches applied, the
IMQ patch can be dropped from the pvops tree.
