		The network device frontend driver allows the kernel to
		access network devices exported exported by a virtual
		machine containing a physical network device driver. The
		frontend driver is intended for unprivileged guest domains;
		if you are compiling a kernel for a Xen guest, you almost
		certainly want to enable this.
