In vif-common.sh, set the shell variable "dev" to the new interface
name when interfaces are renamed, and consistently use this variable
in all the vif scripts.
This fixes hotplug of renamed interfaces.

Checking for RELATED,ESTABLISHED traffic being sent to a domU requires
connection tracking, which adds unexpected (to most users) load to
dom0. Heavily loaded systems can fill the conntrack tables.
So avoid this, be more liberal in what we accept, and leave it to domU
to police its own input.

With newer (pvops) kernels logs get flooded with this iptables
warning: physdev match: using --physdev-out in the OUTPUT, FORWARD and
POSTROUTING chains for non-bridged traffic is not supported anymore
Using the --physdev-is-bridged option prevents this.

This patch adds a second argument to vif-bridge script. It can be "vif"
or "tap". "vif" give the default behavior and "tap" just add the
interface to the found bridge when the action is "add".

In changset 19540 a bug was introduced in the fib_iptable function in
vif-common.sh that incorrectly checks the exit status of iptables --
it always believes iptables has failed even when it hasn't.
The attached patch fixes that. It's also bug 1490.

iptables cannot correctly handle situations when more than one command
is trying to set netfilter rules. In such situations, iptables may fail
with EAGAIN, which results in iptables: Unknown error
18446744073709551615.
Such situation can easily happen when multiple network devices are
configured for a domain as vif hotplug scripts are called in parallel
for all of the network devices.

This patch makes two small changes to dom0 iptables rules that permit
(and revoke) domU network access.
First:
Currently, a rule intended to allow domU network access is appended to
the end of the FORWARD chain, where it can be preempted by other =20
rules. This patch causes the rule to be inserted at the top, where
it's more likely to have the intended effect.
Second:
In some cases (e.g. Fedora 9's default iptables configuration), the
first rule alone is insufficient to permit two-way packet flow. This
patch adds a second rule to the FORWARD chain that permits replies to
domU network requests to reach the domU vif.
