[libvirt] troubles creating an OVS network with xen, libxl and libvirt.

[Alvin Starr]

One more quirk

I can create a domain using the lx commands and a slightly modified 
.conf file.
"virsh  start kvmtest" returns a failure.
I tracked the information passed to vif-openvswitch and it is being 
called with type_if=tap and it needs to be type_if=vif.

Any help would be greatly appreciated once again.
