move mac from eth0 to veth0,
set eth0 mac FF:FE:FF:FF:FF:FF (if i remeber correctly, check for peth0 mac)
ifconfig eth0 up
brctl addbr xenbr0
[brctl stp off, sethello 0, setfd 0, man brctl]
brctl addif xenbr0 eth0
brctl addif xenbr0 veth0 
ifconfig veth0 up
vconfig add veth0 100
vconfig add veth0 200
ifconfig veth0.100 up
ifconfig veth0.200 up
[return to brctl, use your imagination]

for sure, e1000 support jumbo frame.

that is not the right way.

uh, you can check also for "tx checksumming" (list are full of this).
