Only for brevity. There are all entries form FreeBSD guest and only 
couple relevant from Linux guest, so even if not fair, still favourable 
for "us" :)

I just started experimenting and it seems like I am lucky.

xenstore-write attr/vif/1/ipv4/0 '11.10.10.10'

xenstore-write attr/vif/0/ipv4/1 '22.10.10.10'

Only one ovious difference between this and Linux output from previous 
message is indexing from 0, but after this write I can see both address 
in both XCP-ng Center and Xen Orchestra.

So my question changes to are we willing to add support for multiple 
IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses and renamed interfaces to 
xe-guest-utilities? dinoex@? :)
