Really? 3.4.2 should bevahe the same way as 4.0 regarding bridged
networking. Unless if you have your own custom network-bridge script?

The one responsible for creating vif-veth pair in dom0 is the netloop
module. After that, network-bridge script does some renaming (like old
eth0 -> peth0, and veth0 -> eth0 for older version of xen).

The one documenting the change? not that I know of. Also like I said,
it's not a change in Xen 4.0, but in previous versions (don't know
which one exactly)

This is my dom0 pv_ops kernel config: http://pastebin.com/5L44xXQj

The most important backend-related configs are
CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=m
