Subject: net: add a vnet_hdr=on|off parameter
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=baf74c95802347e218721dbaa331997e11fbf903;p=qmiga%2Fqemu.git

net: add a vnet_hdr=on|off parameter

This allows people to disable the IFF_VNET_HDR flag, e.g. for debugging
purposes or if they know they may migrate the guest to a machine without
IFF_VNET_HDR support.

It also allows making the lack of IFF_VNET_HDR support an error
condition, e.g. in the case where a guest is being migrated from a host
which does support it.
