This simplifies capturing traffic with Wireshark on the host as each of
the guest's interfaces is clearly identified.
The three bridges were previously numbered starting from 0, this scheme
is restored here.
Passthrough mode only works as expected when running as root. On
Debian/Ubuntu systems qemu runs as user 'libvirt-qemu' and group 'kvm'
so all shared files must be chowned to grant access from guests.
Symlinks created on the host are still problematic because the Plan 9
filesystem has no direct notion of symbolic links, see [1].

Guest and network configuration is setup using the libvirt
virtualization API. The [start|stop]_testing scripts have been updated
accordingly.
qemu/KVM does not currently support a hostfs, so the shared build tree
mount has been dropped for now.
Reduce the coupling of the different scripts.
make-testing : Build the testing environment
start-testing : Start switches and guests
do-tests : Run tests
stop-testing : Stop switches and guests
Instead of extracting a downloaded Gentoo filesystem tree into a file
containing a reiserfs filesystem, create an ext3 filesystem inside a
sparse file, mount it and debootstrap an up-to-date Debian system. Use
this image as base for all UML guest images.
Also, drop support for the various consoles and use xterm
unconditionally.
