Proper driver domains stuff. It'd certainly be a neat feature to have working. The current code is almost but not quite there :-( 1) AFAIK netfront currently looks for interfaces once, at init time (and it doesn't do this at all if it's dom0). Some code for dynamically reprobing for interfaces seems to be available but not enabled. Netfront would need to be changed to support dynamically adding interfaces and to still listen for interfaces being added, even if in dom0. 2) The control tools don't allow you to add a frontend interface to domain 0 (in fact, I don't know if they allow you to dynamically add net interfaces at all). Xend / xm would need tweaking so you could say "and now create another interface for this domain". This would send the appropriate messages to netback and the modified netfront to allow the interface to be connected. This could benefit domU domains too.
