I am wondering if there is a way to preserve the domU vif name in dom0 after
reboot.  I can specify the vif name when creating the domain which is helpful
for ebtables rules, but if the VM is rebooted it will get a new one.

Alternatively, it looks like I can alter the vif-bridge script to grep the vif
being used each time but it would be cleaner (for a number of reasons) to just
have the vif name preserved if that is possible?

Thanks,
Tim
