[XenPPC] xend and routes

We have several JS21, all with two ethernet interfaces, both interfaces in use. For example this is what things look like when we boot one such blade with the latest xen and linux for xen and before starting xend. 

cso89:~ # ifconfig
ifconfig

This is what the routing tables look like.

cso89:~ # netstat -rn
netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 9.2.78.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

Notice that the machine name, cso89 corresponds to ip address 9.2.78.89 and is on eth1. Notice also that there is a default route from the machine, the last one, in the table above. After we start xend this is the network interface table.

This is as expected.  However notice what happened to our routing tables.

cso89:~ # netstat -rn
netstat -rn

The next to last route is bogus and interferes with the proper operation of the machine as far as the network goes. I am not sure what the first route in the list above is all about, but seems strange as well. In any case it was not there before.
