[Xen-devel] trivial error message fix for network-bridge

["Luke S. Crawford" <lsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do believe there is an error in the error message network-bridge gives 
when you run out of veth devices;  I was trying to setup a box with 8 
bridges and it was erroring out on the 5th bridge.  It gave me the 
following error:
---
# /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start vifnum=4
Link veth4 is missing.
This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of interfaces
that the loopback driver supports.  If the loopback driver is a module, 
you may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter (nloopbacks=<N>); if 
the driver is compiled statically into the kernel, then you may set the 
parameter using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the domain 0 kernel command 
line.

This doesn't work on my system.  the correct option (in the 2.6.16.29 
kernel) is
netloop.nloopbacks=<N>
