I doubt it is sufficient. When my virtual machine starts, uml_net
seems to want to do:

[42949384.150000] * ifconfig tap0 192.134.4.69 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
[42949384.150000] * bash -c echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[42949384.150000] * route add -host 192.134.4.79 dev tap0
[42949384.150000] * bash -c echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp
[42949384.150000] * arp -Ds 192.134.4.79 eth0 pub
[42949384.150000] * route del -host 192.134.4.79 dev tap0
[42949384.150000] * bash -c echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp
[42949384.150000] * arp -i eth0 -d 192.134.4.79 pub
[42949384.150000] * route add -host 192.134.4.79 dev tap0
[42949384.150000] * bash -c echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp
[42949384.150000] * arp -Ds 192.134.4.79 eth0 pub
                                                                         [ ok ]
Most of these (modifying the routes, playing with the ARP cache,
enabling forwarding) require to be root and I do not think that access
to the TAP device is enough?
