This patch tested out fine and looks good.  One thing though, it causes 
EAFP and RAFP queries with a NetworkPort ref to fail.  This is because 
netpool_member_of(), which eventually gets called by pool_member_of(), 
uses the bridge name to construct the InstanceID.

Since the net_device struct doesn't have a virtual network element, I'm 
guessing this needs to be a separate patch.

Failing query:
wbemcli ain -ac Xen_ElementAllocatedFromPool 
'http://localhost:5988/root/virt:Xen_NetworkPool.InstanceID="NetworkPool/default"'
