Description Hiroaki Tomozawa 2011-06-22 01:00:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

qemu-kvm defines a wrong ethertype value for RAPR frames
in savevm.c:

 #define ETH_P_RARP 0x0835

The value must be a typo and should have been 0x8035,
as an upstream commit already has a fix:

https://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=commit;h=f8778a7785d530515b0db395606f327fd5f94a92

testing result summary
1) entertype of RARP is 0x0835 in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64, and cann't get RARP protocol 
2) entertype of RARP is 0x8035 in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.192.el6.x86_64, and can get RARP protocol

base on above testing result, this bug has been fixed.
