Yeah, and I think this is a good idea. There's no real benefit to
supporting the bridge type during the creation of guests because it
will only result in a lack of association to a pool.

I guess what we need to do is make sure that device_parsing.c can
parse a guest with a bridge type of interface and that xmlgen.c writes
it back out correctly. Then, we won't break existing guests, but
won't support creating them in that configuration from scratch.
Does that sound reasonable?
