> Allow (1) the making of both frontend and backend vif MACs read-only
> (independently), 

I can't see why making the frontend MAC readonly can really be done
securely within the domain.

> (2) the addition of some xen-specific sysfs attributes
> on front/back vifs, 

What attributes?

> (3) an option to set several vif defaults in a domain
> config file, for ease of use when creating multiple vifs.

Please give an example.

Thanks for all the patches!

Ian
