IOU's only wire is the IOL fabric (Unix datagrams, 8-byte headers,
NETMAP), so it has no host netdev to enslave — the kernel datapath gives
each Ethernet bay/unit a persistent TAP anchor the uBridge IOL bridge
binds the port to (iol_bridge add_nio_tap), which links then enslave into
their per-link kernel bridge exactly like Docker's veth and QEMU's TAP.
* IOUVM joins KernelDatapathMixin: one TAP per Ethernet bay/unit
(gi{id8}e{bay}p{unit}), created at start after a capability probe and a
stale sweep, born down and address-free; serial bays never anchor.
* _networking dispatches per NIO type: a relay link keeps iol_bridge
add_nio_udp, a kernel link binds the anchor then runs _kernel_attach.
* Stop order is QEMU's reverse, because uBridge holds the anchor fds:
iol_bridge delete (releases every port NIO) -> tap delete (a held TAP
answers EBADFD) -> brctl delete -> hypervisor stop. Removing a single
link releases its fd the same way (delete_nio_tap).
* The IOU-specific marker reconcile override is gone: marker primitives
are polymorphic on the anchor (marker *_kernel on a TAP, iol_bridge
commands on an IOL location), so the base reconcile serves both.
Capture on a kernel link anchors on the TAP (capture start_kernel);
filters are tc on the anchor, never combined with the userspace
iol_bridge filters a relay link uses.
