[Bug 917309] Re: brcompatd works with brctl delif but doesn't with addif

[Rogério Vinhal Nunes]

I don't want brcompat to control the bridge module. I want brcompat to
make it possible to REPLACE the bridge kernel module with an OvS switch.

Maybe I wasnt very clear on my environment. I have a host machine
running the Xen Hypervisor. Xen Hypervisor works with bridged networking
by setting a bridge named xenbr0 with the network interface IP and
connecting it to the IP-less network interface. This way, every VM
started becomes connected to the xenbr0 bridge along with the physical
interface as gateway. I want to make this xenbr0 bridge an OvS switch.

That's why I must have a /etc/network/interfaces entry for the xenbr0
bridge, to configure its IP accordingly.

I tried blacklisting the bridge module in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but after restarting the bridge module
is still raising.
