How should this be converted?
/etc/init.d/boot.local
tap=xentap
tunctl -pt ${tap}
ip addr add 1.1.1.1/29 dev ${tap}
ip link set up dev ${tap}
domU.cfg
vif=[
'mac=00:16:3e:13:01:00,ip=1.1.1.2,type=vif,gatewaydev=xentap,script=vif-route'
]
The result from "convert-xml xen-xl domU,cfg" is:
<interface type='ethernet'>
<mac address='00:16:3e:13:01:00'/>
<ip address='1.1.1.2' family='ipv4'/>
<script path='vif-route'/>

gatewaydev= is missing, the guest will not start.
libvirt doesn't support 'gatewaydev'. I'm certainly no expert in this
area, but
is it possible to convert your host config in boot.local to a libvirt routed
network [1] and then have the guest use it with something like
<interface type='network'>
<source network='boot.local.equiv'/>
...
</interface>
