Hi all: This series tries to do the announcing by guest through virito-net. This is done through inject the notificaiton interrupt to guest several times after migration and then guest driver will send the proper garp packets.
Recent Linux driver has already had this support. Tested with ping to guest with vlan during migration. Without the patch, lots of the packets were lost after migration. With the patch, could not notice packet loss after migration.
