+         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.
