  Hi,

The attached patch fixes the setup of the bridge ports and the bridge
itself.  Changes:

  * move some functions to xen-network-common.sh, so both vif-bridge
    and network-bridge can use them.
  * add a new function to configure bridge ports and use it.
  * make sure arp requests, ipv6 autoconfiguration and ipv6 router
    solicitations are disabled for the bridge ports and also for the
    bridge itself.

cheers,

  Gerd
