Curious only though but that might helps to determine one or more of
your patches issue.  One of your patch at least is using vif?.N to get
its physical ethN if I am not mistaken:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=492964&action=diff

pdev=`echo $dev | sed -e "s/^vif\(.*\)\.\(.*\)$/peth\2/"`

So if $dev is vif?.N here, the pdev will be pethN right?  However,
since you are using system network configuration to configure your
bridge, your physical ethN remain the same as it is and there isn't
any pethN here I believe.  Correct me if I am wrong though :p

And your next line is:

mtu=`cat /sys/class/net/$pdev/mtu`

So if $pdev not set or empty or pethN not found, you will have issue here... ...

Now let said you are using xen provided to do the bridging instead of
using system network configuration... so pethN will be set by xen or
rename real ethN to pethN and setup bridge name as ethN if I remember
correctly... ... now if vif?.N where N is 1 for your xenbr2/peth2 you
will have issue as well :p

You might want to try setting vifname for your testing domU config to
see whether does it resolve your issue?

I haven't look closely for your other patches though and what I stated
above hopefully make sense :p

Thanks.

Kindest regards,
