In the unstable repo you can set the vif's name with the 'vifname=' parameter.

However, if you reboot a domain the vif will temporarilly disappear, so any iptables, ebtables, routes or bridging rules will be ripped out. You need to reissue them when the interface comes back up -- you can do this by adding the rules to the vif-bridge script.
