[et-mgmt-tools] virt-manager: handling of bonding and bridge devices

Hi,
currently virt-manager uses some linux specific heuristics to find out
if a device is part of a bridge. This immediatley fails if the
underlying device is not a physical device but e.g. a bonding device.

Hal doesn't seem to care about either bridges nor bonding devices. I
wonder where to fix this? Add another linux specific bonding hack
to determine if a eth devices is part of a bonding device which might be
part of a bridge? Would be easy enough to do but I wonder if it wouldn't
be better if hal would export this information in the first place?

Cheers,
