Xen devel - Feb 2006 - [PATCH] [XM-TEST] New IP address scheme for net tests

While testing TCP & UDP tests (coming soon), I tracked down a bug in the 
IP addressing scheme 
used by xm-test: each machine running network tests is using the same IP 
addresses, so two machines 
in the same network can cross-pollinate/interfere with each other''s
tests.

This patch changes the IP addressing scheme to add some randomness.
It''s
gone through a couple of dozen 
passes of xm-test, some on -bridge and some on -route, while xm-test was 
running on another box on the same network.
