There's definitely a disconnect in the code between passing an address and having anything happen as a result of that. I think supporting this would require this qemu patch series, plus any collateral that might have come from it. Markus, you originated these patches upstream, has porting these to RHEL5 already been discussed or rejected? On the surface it seems feasible, not too invasive, but also not necessarily trivial. 07b7d05377a5e2b242ef0cce3d461d3284700fc0 5607c38820366954c38dd702e979499486057481 1f5f6638c063514f193ca447d49fa95f8a574a69 c2cc47a449c3e16f7dd4d19a536c649ec56a9ac9 Upstream uses the more general -device, device_add. -net nic,addr=DEVFN and pci_add are evolutionary dead ends. Fine for RHEL-5, I guess. I don't remember discussing backporting these patches to RHEL-5. Double-checking: is the device address configurable via libvirt? |
