Thank You _again_, You pointed me at the right thing.
I am currently trying to figure out why I added it in the first place, my
template
doesn't have it. I think it was about the type=ioemu vif being cleared from
the bridge more reliable than the standard vif.
i.e. just now
root at xen-host3 /etc/xen/configs/linlab# xm create -c ll-kickme
Using config file "ll-kickme".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.
this happened after a successful boot, so my spirit is up anyway)

I feel a bit stupid, having wasted a few hours on this.
on the other had it still fed google. :)
