The "-net dump" option only works with the "-net" option. So far, it is not possible to dump network traffic with the "-netdev" option yet. This patch series now fixes this ugliness by enabling dumping for the "-netdev" option, too.
Unlike with my first attempt a couple of weeks ago ("net: Enable vlans and dump for -netdev, too"), this patch series now does not "abuse" the disliked internal vlan hub infrastructure anymore but introduces a new, clean "dumpfile=xxx" option for the -netdev parameters instead. It's likely too late for version 2.4 for this patch series, but it would be great to get some review feedback for this anyway.
