Reviewed-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger....@citrix.com> If you have a moment might be worth adding a note in xl-network-configuration.5.pod that NetBSD in HVM mode requires bridged networking I think? Also, the qemu-ifup script doesn't seem to be part of the NetBSD scripts that are upstream, is this something carried by the NetBSD package? I certainly don't mind adding those extra parameters/env variables, but might be nice to clarify the expectations, that can be done in a separate patch. Thanks, Roger.
