[Libvir] [PATCH] TX/RX network stats are swapped
I noticed that the stats reported by virDomainInterfaceStats appeared to be swapped around. If the domain was downloading a lot of information, then tx_bytes would increase quickly (I'd expect rx_bytes to increase more if the domain was downloading). The problem is that xen_internal.c measures the TX/RX from the point of view of dom0. So that if dom0 is TRANSMITTING a lot of data up to the domain, then that domain is really RECEIVING it. Yes, I feel like an idiot ... Fix attached.

Well nobody noticed it before, by review or running it, the blame is shared !
