Yep, netback most probably won't be in 2.6.38.
Upstreaming of the various dom0 bits needs to be done step-by-step,
the previous "everything at once" clearly didn't work.
netback could always be added as an out-of-tree patch,
or even some dkms module/rpm ?
If what is left of netback is a purely self-contained driver
module which doesn't touch any central kernel/arch code, then
I think you'd stand a good chance of convincing the Fedora
kernel maintainers to take it as a add-on patch to the
official kernels.
