[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] add a command line option to specify the IP address to send multicast packets from

[Mike Ryan <mikeryan@isi.edu>]

[one more minor change which is needed on older kernels]

Add an option to specify the host IP to send multicast packets from when
using a multicast socket for networking. The option takes an IP address
and sets the IP_MULTICAST_IF socket option, which causes the packets to
use that IP's interface as an egress.

This is useful if the host machine has several interfaces with several
virtual networks across disparate interfaces.
