Hi Karl, I've build and tested your PR, but without the GCC7 patch, and
when I've tested it on el6, none of the guests had network access.
I had to revert the bridge changes to have them working
(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=m and CONFIG_BRIDGE=m).
Why did you want the BRIDGE built-in instead of a module?
Maybe you have something to setup the bridge (probably filter) properly,
or maybe something is different in the xen package between el6 and el7.
Any idea?
I still have to investigate the Xen pkg, and have a closer look at those
tests I'm running.
Hum strange. I switched from module to built-in because I always had a deprecated warning about bridge when booting CentOS 6 (and I guess everyone needs bridge?). I don't remember what was the exact warning because it's been a long time since I switched it. I don't mind to put it back as a module, both works for me but the warning is gone when built-in.
