creating domains with networking very easy. This patch:
1) Adds new XenDevice class, with the XenNetDevice subclass. These
classes represent devices for xm-test and are tied to XenDomains.
This can eventually be used for block devices as well. Currently,
devices must be added to domains prior to starting the domain. The
attach and detach needs to be handled.
2) Adds a new NetConfig class to handle configuring the network
environment in which the tests run. This patch only handles ranges
of IPs in a bridged environment. DHCP needs to be added as well as
handling NAT and routed environments.
3) Modifies XenDomain class to handle XenDevices.
4) Adds new configuration options for defining a range of IPs, their
network address, and their netmask.
5) Removes the old Network.py and Network class.
6) Modifies the existing tests to use the new infrastructure.
7) Adds some documentation to help creating domains.

in XenDomain. The devices we will add, like network, will need to run
console commands when a domain is started. So I have made console be
a part of domain object, which it's tied to anyway.

This will simplify the way we differentiate between HV and PV domains,
as well as make it easier to run normal tests in either HV or PV mode.
This patch has been modified by Ewan Mellor, to match his recent changes to
remove the nics= configuration option.

entries in vif to guide the configuration. This is much less confusing.
Closes bug #440.
Change the example configuration files to match. Also change them to use the
XenSource OUI in the MAC addresses. Also change xm-test to match.
Remove the obsolete ipaddr configuration entry, and the backend_mac vif config
option.
Remove the preprocess_vifs function, folding it into the configure_vifs
function, and creating a simple comma_sep_kv_to_dict helper.
Remove the configure_vfr method, as it is unused.
