Turned out to be some missing modules. The xen udev rules were not
loading the modules.
Once I fixed that (packaging problems), most other problems went away.

The final problems were related to the VM's VIF line. I had to change it from:
    vif         = [ 'mac = ' + mac + ',vifname = vif-dpm' ]
to
    vif         = [ 'mac = ' + mac  ]


For whatever reason I can't specify the VIF name with unstable.
