We should be passing all the variables specified in a vif stanza as
environment to the hotplug script when it runs. This would make it dead
easy to implement vifname in hotplug-common.sh using 'ip link set name'.

Unfortunately, for no particularly good reason xend currently filters
the set of strings it passes in to hotplug. Patches welcome.
