If you have a moment might be worth adding a note in
xl-network-configuration.5.pod that NetBSD in HVM mode requires
bridged networking I think?

Also, the qemu-ifup script doesn't seem to be part of the NetBSD
scripts that are upstream, is this something carried by the NetBSD
package?

I certainly don't mind adding those extra parameters/env variables,
but might be nice to clarify the expectations, that can be done in a
separate patch.

Thanks, Roger.
