We had problem using tagged vlans inside domU. Testing shows that this is caused by \
changing network interfaces in network-bridge script. Following patch should allow to \
use vlans in guest.

Testing scenario:
configure vlan network (e.g. vlan 1 on eth0 => eth0.1)
start xend
create domU and configure same vlan inside it

You can see that vlan is still <interface>.<vlan_id>. You can reach dom0 but not \
domU. After patch apply vlan is changed to <bridge>.<vlan_id> after xend start and \
you can reach both dom0 and domu.
