Sorry, I had forgotten that I've already concluded previously that
this doesn't work because we don't want to prevent the interface
from being brought up (and other reasons).  My memory is failing me :)

So I think the best option now is to get rid of the delay on carrier
on events for everyone.
  
Sounds good to me.  So I'll use this change instead.

Subject: xen: go back to using normal network stack carriers

This effectively reverts xen-unstable change
14280:42b29f084c31. Herbert has changed the behaviour of the core
networking to not delay an initial down->up transition, and so the
timing concern has been solved.
