Hi Jon (and others),

Are you still having trouble getting the passt tests to work?  I
mentioned at some point in the past that I had an experimental "test
in a box" script which set up some namespaces to run the tests
independently of the host's networking setup.  I just rebased that
onto the current tree and discovered that it worked better than I
recalled.  I was able to run the full test suite except for the
performance tests - I didn't try those, so I don't know if they work.

I pushed the rebased version, along with some other local patches I
tend to use while developing at:
	https://gitlab.com/dgibson/passt/-/tree/testbase?ref_type=heads

To use:

1) The test "assets" must be built and up to date, first, so in
   passt/tests run:
   	$ make
2) In passt/tests run
	$ ./testinabox.sh

Hope that's useful to someone.
