[Xen-devel] [PATCH] safer checks in network-bridge script

["Charles Coffing" <ccoffing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The network-bridge script is fragile because of how grep is used.  As
one example, if I already have "xenbridge", I can't create "xenbr". 
(It's actually worse than that, because it's even grepping the header
output by brctl show.)

Assuming dom0 is on Linux with /sys mounted (is that a safe
assumption?) we can check for the existence of a bridge, and check if a
device is on the bridge, by looking in /sys.  The attached patch does
that.

If that's not a safe assumption, at least add "-w" to the two instances
of grep.  Not perfect, but better.
