All,
What is needed to backport vhost net accelerator to make it
avaiable in fc13? The following patches from net-next
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git)
should apply to fedora kernel without changes, and are fairly non-intrusive:

05c2828c72c4eabf62376adfe27bd24797621f62 tun: export underlying socket
5da779c34ccff5e1e617892b6c8bd8260fb1f04c mm: export use_mm/unuse_mm to modules
3a4d5c94e959359ece6d6b55045c3f046677f55c vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server

This module is required for vhost net feature. Feature page here:
