Sure, can you describe a little better the use case, as I could use
that for the commit log. My only current use case was the xen-netback
case but Zoltan has noted a few cases where an IPv4 or IPv6 address
*could* be used on the backend interfaces (which I'll still poke as
its unclear to me why they have 'em).
