[Lguest] [RFC 0/6] Lguest IPv6 tunnet configuration and fixes

Hi,

This patchset contains miscellaneous fixes for the lguest launcher. The
first five patches are small fixes but the 6th one improves the --tunnet
switch to allow giving host interfaces IPv6 addresses. Netmasks can also be
speficied from now on.

The support for old syntax is preserved albeit the documentation for it is
removed.

I have to admit I haven't given much testing to the patches; bridge/MAC
address configuration especially remains untested. As I'm also ignorant how
Linux networking works in detail, I wonder if a device which is part of a
bridge must be set up before it's up and running. The code sets the tunnet
device up nevertheless, but does not configure an IP address for it if
bridging is enabled. Should also setting the MAC address be required in that
case?

Kind regards,
