I have implemented a prototype of this as "garpjitsu" here [1] and
submitted a PR to synjitsu [2]. The code starts a conduit vchan_direct
server to listen for connections from Jitsu. When it receives a mac/ip
pair it will send a gratuitous ARP.

I have also added support to Jitsu to notify synjitsu every time a new
unikernel is booted. The new parameter --synjitsu=[domain name/uuid] can
be used to enable this.
