Sometime after F8, something changed where stuff attached to a bridge 
fails to connect until 15 seconds later.  A manual workaround of brctl 
setfd BRIDGENAME 0.1 makes stuff work immediately.

Are there any reasons why don't we do this by default for virbr0 in libvirt?

Use cases:
- Attach a different tun/tap device to the virbr0 bridge to talk to your 
virtual machine.
- Attach ethX real device to your vribr0 bridge to talk to your virtual 
machine without NAT (like if you are doing DHCP.)
