OK, thanks.  Indeed, after setting up the bridging, I am continuing to
have the same problem ("brctl show" complains repeatedly) on a machine
with Xen installed, but the bridging works fine on the same OS (Oracle
Linux 6) without Xen installed.

Will follow up with more info when available.

Is this commented out and easy to turn on?  Or maybe it's NOT
commented out and is causing the breakage I am seeing?

Excellent!  Pulled the latest bits and xl works now!  (Still
no networking in my guests though due to the above.)

Thanks very much for your help!
