[MirageOS-devel] ipv4 configuration overhauls & dhcp client adjustments

[Mindy <mindy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I recently spent a bit of time attempting to make the mechanism by which 
network stacks are configured in the ipv4 universe a bit less 
surprising.  I got these into PR shape early today, and I'd appreciate 
any comments you might have.  I'm happy to hear them here, on the PR, or 
privately.
mirage PR, with:

* changes to the public methods used in `config.ml` files

* a new module type in V1_LWT called DHCP_CLIENT

* removal of some functions in V1's IP module type

* changes to the types representing ipv4 configuration and ipv6 
configuration
* removal of the `mode` argument to V1_LWT.STACKV4 's id GADT

is available at https://github.com/mirage/mirage/pull/643 .

mirage-tcpip PR, with:

* Static_ipv4 and Dhcp_ipv4 instead of Ipv4

* tcpip-stack-direct that does not attempt to configure the ip, but 
rather expects one with parameters arleady set
* a tcpip_stack_direct that does not automatically call listen before 
the user has had a chance to register listeners
is available at https://github.com/mirage/mirage-tcpip/pull/260 .
