[Xen-devel] [PATCH] SUSE has sensible use of ifup nowadays

[Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While wading through the patches made to Xen by OpenSUSE in their
[s]rpm, I found that they have removed various special casing for ifup
on ther distribution.

We should do likewise.  This change should be included in the next
xen-unstable, NOT in 3.2.  By then we hope that SLES et al have also
been updated.

The patch below is not derived directly from the OpenSUSE package,
since the OpenSUSE patch deleted the attempt to cope with Gentoo.

Ian.
