improvement: systemvm slow operations On our setup we had issues with vrouters when a large number of VM were created at once. The vrouters try to arping the gateway (to refresh the ARP cache I suppose), but in some case it take too much time and the vrouters got killed for being unresponsive. The following patches attempt to solve this by: * a96ab18f, 8908371b defensive fix, maybe a bug? * fce10c55 do not block on arping command This patch has been running for a month on our test environment and seems to solve the initial problem.
