Guess so. It defaults to flip. I simplified the rx_copy/flip module

Yep, page flipping is the old (pre xen 3.0.3) way, copy was added (and
made the default) later.
So can we please just rip out the obsolete code completely? There's
no point adding this code anymore.
Drawback is that the guest kernel wouldn't work with older xen versions
(dom0 netback driver to be exact) any more. Probably wouldn't be a
showstopper though, given that xen 3.0.3 probably is almost one year out
by the time 2.6.22 will be released ...
