[Xen-devel] Patch fixing vlan handling when network-bridge script is used

[Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We had problem using tagged vlans inside domU. Testing shows that this is 
caused by changing network interfaces in network-bridge script. Following patch 
should allow to use vlans in guest.

Testing scenario:
configure vlan network (e.g. vlan 1 on eth0 => eth0.1)
start xend
create domU and configure same vlan inside it

You can see that vlan is still <interface>.<vlan_id>. You can reach dom0 but 
not domU. After patch apply vlan is changed to <bridge>.<vlan_id> after xend 
start and you can reach both dom0 and domu.
