The full description of the problem fixed by these patches is in patch
3/3. Basically, a recent patch changed the ordering of things during
startup such that hostdev interfaces are given an alias named "netN"
rather than the expected "hostdevN". That caused a problem when
subsequently trying to hotplug another interface of any kind.
This is solved by adding a new function that lets us learn the type of
any interface prior to setting it up, then using that function to
change the behavior when assigning aliases.
This *really* should be pushed before 1.3.3 is released.
