I've run into a problem where live migrations of the VMs fail with MTU
>1500. It would seem that the system tried to create a tapX device,
which is at 1500, and brings the bridge down.

I'm not familiar enough with Xen's internals with regard to migration.
If anyone here could offer some help getting this working in EL 5.6, I'd
appreciate it. I'm in over my head now, I think. :)
