Newer distros like CentOS 8 do not have brctl available. As such, we
can't use it to configure networking anymore.
This patch will fall back to 'ip' or 'bridge' commands if brctl is not
available in the working PATH.
This would be a likely backport candidate to any version expected to be
built on CentOS 8 etc.

The only remaining mentions of these addresses are in COPYING files which I
haven't touched.
Some of the changed files are imports from elsewhere, however
filtering them out is tricky, I think it is tolerable to have these
files be modified here and then perhaps reverted on the next sync,
since it's only 1-2 lines and obvious what is going on.

The current usage prevents naming a vif "dev". Although the current syntax is
documented in Squeeze's ip(8) it appears that this was a documentation bug.
Newer versions of the man page describe the new syntax used here and Squeeze's
implementation accepts it as well.
This is Debian bug #705659.

Mike provided the initial patch to tools/hotplug/Linux/xen-network-common.sh
and Ian extended it to catch some cases in vif-* too.

With changeset 22885 support was added for setting the MTU in the vif-bridge
script for when a vif interface was set to 'online'. The was not done for the
'add' operation. The 'add' operation was added to the script for when tap
devices were specified (c/s 21944). With the setting of the MTU for the
'online' case was there a reason for omitting the 'add'?
This patch sets the MTU for both 'online' and 'add' in the vif-bridge script.

Avoid applying to the bridge and physical network device.
This should un-break dom0 networking in the old xend-creates-bridge

Most versions of netback do not support setting the MAC address. This
means that c/s 937488219719 causes the hotplug script to break for
vifs, even as it fixes the bridge-wrong-MAC-address problem for tap
devices (used for emulated nics).
The mac-setting operation is not necessary for vifs since they are
hardcoded to fe:ff* anyway.
As a band-aid, add "|| true" to the call to ip link, so that this
error does not cause the hotplug operation to fail. There will still
be an error message printed until we can fix this better.

If a tap device is not given an explicit MAC address it will generate
one randomly.
The behaviour of the Linux bridge is to pickup the lowest MAC address
of any port for use in for ARP, STP etc. If the tap device's randomly
generated MAC address happens to be the lowest then this can cause all
manner of strange networking glitches in both domain 0 and guests when
the bridge suddenly takes over from the previously used MAC address.
We choose FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as it the numerically largest
non-broadcast address. This ensures that the physical NIC device's
port will have the lowest MAC address and therefore be the one picked
up by the bridge.
vif devices already have a MAC address of FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF set by
netback already but there is no harm in forcing it a second time in
the hotplug script.
tap devices are added by the "add" event and therefore we should call
setup_bridge_port then as well as for "online" which is caused by vif
devices.
