I remember we talked about implementing that, but did we actually do it?
I may implied/suggested that I would, and then dropped the ball (it's
happened before :-/)
Yep :-( I looked through the thread and see that I had said I was
writing a patch to do that, but apparently I never finished it and it's
sitting somewhere on one of the dozens of "mystery branches" in my sandbox.
Definitely I did push the patch that disconnects the up/down status of
the host side of the tap from the up/down status of the emulated NIC.
