Ack, sorry.  I had dropped the original first patch that allows setting
the virtio_net MAC address since Rusty already accepted it into his
patch queue.  I can easily munge these to not rely on that (context-only
changes), but that'll just leave Rusty with the merge conflict.  Rusty,
which way do you want these to hit the tree?  Thanks,

Alex
