As Michael points out. The only possible solution is to use do it inside
the guest instead of qemu ( and using a pv device). You can have a look
at my RFCs in
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-03/msg01127.html
which let virtio driver send the gARP. Xen, Hyperv does the same thing.
The point is qemu does not know how the macs was used. So your method
only solves the issue partially becuase:
- A card can have several macs, see virtio_net and e1000's mac table and
it can be overflowed also.
- Vlan could be used so we need to send tagged gARP instead of untagged.
