Are you using a fixed MAC-address for your network interface?
Something like this:
vif=[ 'mac=AA:00:00:00:01:01,bridge=...]

Please use a fixed MAC for your interface and your ethxx wont increase
anymore.
if you need a certain ethxx you can create a udev rule something like:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:60:dd:47:80:dc", 
IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth0"
