Ovirt devel - Aug 2008 - [PATCH]: Set forward delay to 0 in "bundled" mode

When you are managing machines on a physical network, we build a bridge and then
plug a real eth device into that bridge.  However, by default there is a 15
second forwarding delay when we first add the device.  To get around this, add
"bridge setfd ovirtbr 0" right before adding the eth device to the
bridge.  This
gets rid of the delay.
