No, it doesn't. But, AFAIK --fake-iface was add to support older version 
of XenServer requiring a bond interface for some legacy reasons, newer 
version of XenSever doesn't use --fake-iface. This means --fake-iface is 
not used by anyone (and hoping rhel doesn't need it either), and can be 
removed from code.
