Module Name:    src

Modified Files:
        src/sys/arch/xen/xen: if_xennet_xenbus.c

Log Message:
Features (like feature-rx-copy) are set during XenbusStateInitWait in
backend. So delay xennet_xenbus_resume() up to notification of
backend state change.

This avoids a race that happens during dynamic attach/detach of network
interfaces with xm(1), where frontend queries xenstore for features not
yet reported by backend. This does not happen during normal domU boot,
as the backend has enough time to fill in these entries before frontend
asks for them.

Issue was reported by sborrill@: detaching xennet interfaces with RX copy
mode enabled turns them back during attach to RX flip mode due to the race.

feature-rx-copy support is part of another patch.
