In dom0 both for the physical nics and the guest vif's MTU=1500
In domU the eth0 also has MTU=1500.

So it's not jumbo frames .. just everywhere the same plain defaults ..

With the patch from Wei that solves the other issue, i'm still seeing the Need 
more slots issue on 3.14-rc3+wei's patch now.
I have extended the "need more slots warn" to also print the cons, slots, max,  
rx->offset, size, hope that gives some more insight.
But it indeed is the VM were i had similar issues before, the primary thing 
this VM does is 2 simultaneous rsync's (one push one pull) with some gigabytes 
of data.

This time it was also acompanied by a "grant_table.c:1857:d0 Bad grant 
reference " as seen below, don't know if it's a cause or a effect though.

Will keep you posted when it triggers again with the extra info in the warn.
