Hi Philip,

   Thanks for the patches.  I recommend using git or quilt to keep
track of them, esp. since I'm about to ask for changes :)

Rather than a new option, I'd change --rng it to --random=<device>.  We
don't offer a stable interface for lguest :)

Hmm, I wonder if allowing "=<tapname>" to --tunnet would be better?

Could you send each patch as a separate mail with a Signed-off-by: line
as per Documentation/SubmittingPatches?  And documentation should be included
in the associated patch please!

Thanks!
Rusty.
