That's the thing with tap. The bad news, there's no method that I know
of that can easily make HVM domU's tap names "persistent". The good
news, depending on how you use domU, that might not matter. You see,
if you use PV drivers (like GPLPV for Windows domU) traffic will go
through the vif. And you can change vif name easily. Try "xm create
--help_config | grep vif"
