relates to "Get kvm version >= 60" (from
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio)
but it's at least a "Kernel >= 2.6.25".
Reading more carefully, the kernel requirement is only for the _guest_.
The guest is running Ubuntu 11.10 with the 3.0.0-20-virtual kernel.
That linux-kvm.org page also says, "At the moment the kernel modules are
automatically loaded in the guest but the interface should be started
manually (dhclient/ifconfig)". Now, I'm certainly hoping that's been fixed
by now. It doesn't require a manual ifconfig, right?
According to .config CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y for the guest.
