It can be useful to force an interface to be detached/reattached from its bridge even if it's the same bridge - possibly something like the virtualport profileID has changed, and a detach/attach cycle will get it connected with the new profileID. The one and only current use of virNetDevTapReattachBridge() sets force to false, to preserve current behavior. An upcoming patch will use it with force set to true.
