The tool descriptions have always advertised kernel_datapath as a
requestable field, but the handler's whitelist did not contain it: asking
for it was rejected as an invalid field, so the MCP clients could not see
which links run on kernel interfaces at all.
Also record what seeding a netem experiment on IOU costs: IOL emits its own
CDP/keepalive frames and they draw from the netem RNG stream, so a
seeded run only reproduces after `no cdp run` (verified bit-identical pcaps).
* docs/features/iou-kernel-datapath.md: architecture (one irreducible
userspace hop on the fabric leg, kernel link segment), datapath
selection, the anchor lifecycle with the reverse-of-QEMU stop order,
capture/markers/filters, relay fallback, and the verified numbers (an
isolated server with two IOU nodes behind a fake ELF image, the test
playing the IOL fabric: 64/64 kernel, 62/62 relay).
* docs/design/ubridge-iol-tap-anchor-spec.md: delivered — implemented on
the ubridge fork's feature/iol-tap-anchor branch (both commands, the
listener hardening, plus releasing every port NIO on iol_bridge delete
even when the bridge was not running), with the implementation notes
that came back (208 vs the older 214 for a missing bridge; one perror
line per frame dropped on a down anchor).
* The Docker/QEMU feature docs point at it from their roadmaps.
