I'd rather name the things what they are.  Name the ethernet interface 
eth0, name the bridge xenbr0 or virtbr0 or just br0.  Drop peth0.  The 
only reason for the renaming was to trick the distro setup scripts by 
doing "ifdown eth0; bridge-setup (with eth0 -> peth0 and veth0 -> eth0); 
ifup eth0".
cheers,
  Gerd
