It's much better for us to fix xend and its normal scripts rather than
using the qemu-ifup.

When qemu-dm moves into a stub domains this will get unififed
automatically. In the meantime, I suggest we just rename the tapX device
to be vifX.Y which should allow the normal scripts to work rather more
easily.
