empty gateway on xm creation

[Hans-Joachim Kliemeck]

# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
# apt-cache policy xen-tools
xen-tools:
  Installed: 4.4-1
  Candidate: 4.4-1

the gateway is always empty, since a global variable is overridden on every vm creation. please backport the fix
https://gitorious.org/xen-tools/xen-tools/commit/079382302ba0fd6bb22d5ca8d502eaa4c0ac1730 since it makes the vm creation impossible and the tool useless.

gateway='';
if [ -n "${gateway}" ]; then
  gateway=" gateway ${gateway}"
fi

Someone from Ubuntu need to care about backporting that bugfix. As you already noticed, this is fixed upstream. Marking as such.

is it possible that a backport is done for the gateway fix and 14.04?
