Pull up revision 1.6 (requested by tron in ticket #901):
Automatically create and destroy cloning interfaces and sync IP Filter
immediately afterwards before bringing the interface up. This avoids
a small security gap existing in the previous scheme where IP Filter
was synced after all cloning interfaces were created and brought up.
