I will look at adding an option to specify a default netdev in the
global xl config file and to allow passing a "netdev" option in the vif
specification.

Also, the vif-route script is not working with HVM domains, it is
lacking the "add" and "remove" actions used by HVM interfaces, it only
supports "online" and "offline".

I've tried this config and ip is written to xenstore:

/local/domain/0/backend/vif/6/0/ip = "192.168.1.230"   (n0,r6)
