The vifnames are set in the "vif=" configuration statement. So

   vif = [ 'mac=MACADDRESS, bridge=xenbr0' ]

would become

   vif = [ 'vifname=xen0.01,mac=MACADDRESS, bridge=xenbr0' ]

Setting the IP address of a network port is not the right job for Xen 
itself: it's the right job for the guest domain, which has all the 
network configuration tools built in normally, and itself needs to know 
the netmask and gateway address.
