Guest-external networking: VirtioNet exists but is wired to nothing

Read crates/hv2-core/src/vm.rs around attach_vsock, then crates/hv2-core/src/devices/virtio.rs and its test_virtio_net_* tests. For the guest driver, follow crates/hv2-unikernel/src/vsock.rs; inspect crates/hv2-net/src/nat.rs and hv2-net::tap for the host path. Done means attaching the device, sending and receiving guest frames, and routing translated traffic through TAP; the issue lays out three substantial pieces with no single test named.

Follow-up to the hv2_net::nat work (#94, closed) and to the Botnet arena-sandbox design that motivated it: a guest still cannot reach an external host-routable TCP endpoint end to end. Filed as a roadmap issue rather than a PR -- this is a three-piece gap, and I want to lay out what's actually there today (some of it further along than it looks) before anyone starts on it.

What already exists

• crates/hv2-core/src/devices/virtio.rs: a full host-side VirtioNet device model -- VirtioNetHeader, queues, MAC/status config, a SharedVirtioNet wrapper -- with its own unit test suite (test_virtio_net_*, lines 730-893). This is not a stub.
• crates/hv2-net/src/nat.rs (added in #94's parent work, 8f130b9/6e7df33): a tested, pure IPv4/TCP/UDP NAT translation table -- guest-egress source-port allocation + checksum recompute, static ingress port-forwards. Also not a stub, but it does no I/O of its own -- it expects something to hand it frames.
• crates/hv2-unikernel/src/vsock.rs: a working virtio-vsock guest driver, proving the pattern this repo already uses for a from-scratch no_std virtio driver: a fixed MMIO window (VM::attach_vsock puts it at Self::VSOCK_MMIO_BASE, matching a virtio_mmio.device=4K@0xd0000000:5 kernel-cmdline-style fixed address the driver hard-codes), a static guest-memory map for rings/buffers (no allocator dependency), and a polling (not interrupt-driven) receive loop.

What's missing -- three independent pieces, all required

1. VM has no attach_net (or similarly named) method. crates/hv2-core/src/vm.rs has attach_vsock/attach_vsock_at/attach_vsock_pci (lines 1119-1344 area) but nothing that registers a VirtioNet/SharedVirtioNet as an MMIO (or PCI) transport the way attach_vsock does for vsock. The device model exists; nothing connects it to a running VM.
2. hv2-unikernel has no net driver. Its src/ is exactly boot.rs, interrupts.rs, mem.rs, vsock.rs (see main.rs:68-71) -- no net.rs. vsock.rs is the template to follow: same virtio-mmio v2 bring-up sequence, same fixed-address ring/buffer map style (see its mod mem block), same polling model -- just against VirtioNetHeader's framing and a different device ID instead of vsock's packet header/ops.
3. Nothing wires hv2_net::nat's translation to a real interface. Even with (1) and (2) done, something host-side has to read frames off wherever the guest's virtio-net queue lands, run them through NatTable::translate_outbound/translate_inbound, and hand the result to/from the host's actual network stack (a TAP device via hv2-net::tap, or a raw socket). None of that loop exists yet.

Suggested order

Mirrors how vsock was actually built here (driver proven under a minimal harness before it carried real traffic):

1. VM::attach_net, following attach_vsock's shape -- register a VirtioNet at a fixed MMIO window, return a handle the host side can read/write.
2. hv2-unikernel's net.rs, following vsock.rs's shape -- bring-up, static ring/buffer map, polling recv/send. Provable in isolation the same way vsock was: a guest that can send and receive a raw frame, before anything about IP is involved.
3. The glue loop: host reads a frame from the attached VirtioNet, calls hv2_net::nat, writes the translated frame to a TAP device (hv2-net::tap), and the reverse direction. This is where NatTable gets its first real caller -- worth remembering the closed #94's note that neither 8f130b9 nor 6e7df33 "could affect a running HyperMachine: NatTable has no callers outside this file" was still true as of that commit.

Not attempting any of this myself in code -- filing it so the shape of the remaining work is written down somewhere before someone (possibly me, in a later session) picks it up.
