xenserver: Enable ARP filtering to work around xhad bug.
		
This works around a bug in xhad, which binds to a particular Ethernet
device, which in turn causes ICMP port unreachable messages if packets are
received are on the wrong interface, which in turn can happen if we send
out ARP replies on every interface (as Linux does by default) instead of
just on the interface that has the IP address being ARPed for, which this
sysctl setting in turn works around.

Justin Pettit did most of the work tracking down the origin of this bug.

Bug #1378.
