So we can test this under qemu? Cool!


Yup. Thats been really helpful.

That means we should get some
test.py tests written to match up with the ipv4 tests we have today.  My
gut reaction is that qemu-ppce500 should also be able to work too as
it's also using the E1000 driver.


Yeah my initial plan was to add to/copy from the existing ipv4 tests. There
may be a little issue with the default Debian config for tftp-hpa but I
assume travis-ci has some way to tweak that.
