    Fix the problem with slow network bandwidth between VMs on the same · 5c80cb32

    This problems appears when creating a lan of VMs on the same physical
    host, where the macvlan device is on top of a real ethernet interface.
    The BW was on the order of a 100s of Kbits, which is terrible. But
    crossing to a node on another physical host was fine. I eventually
    stumbled onto the fact that if the underlying device has tso/gso on,
    bw sucked. Just turning that off solved the problem. I have no idea
    why, just accept. 
    
    Also turn off ipv6; some kind of unrelated kernel leak that was
    causing messages to the console, and I hate those while I type.
