In virsh, we have this convenient domif-setlink command, which is
just a wrapper over virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() and which allows
setting link state of given guest NIC. It does so by fetching
corresponding <interface/> XML snippet and either putting <link
state=''/> into it, OR if the element already exists setting the
attribute to desired value. The XML is then fed into the update
API.
There's, however, a small bug in detecting the pre-existence of
the element and its attribute. The code looks at "link"
attribute, while in fact, the attribute is called "state".
