Please can you explain this patch and its motivation a bit more.

Allow (1) the making of both frontend and backend vif MACs read-only (independently),

I can't see why making the frontend MAC readonly can really be done securely within the domain.

(2) the addition of some xen-specific sysfs attributes on front/back vifs,

What attributes?

(3) an option to set several vif defaults in a domain config file, for ease of use when creating multiple vifs.

Please give an example.

Thanks for all the patches!

Ian
