IIRC, this is vzctl scripts' workaround for some Red Hat distro's
networking startup scripts.  I don't know if our current scripts need
this workaround or not - probably not.  I suggest that we don't waste
time changing this until we've updated to new vzctl.

The plan is to get the current/ancient network startup scripts that
we're still using committed directly into our native tree and then to
clean them up.
