Title:
  qemu-system-x86_64: ipv6 and dns is broken with netdev user

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hi,

  dhcp inside qemu returns an ipv6 address as dns-server. However this is not
  working. If i replace it with the ipv4 address '10.0.0.2' dns is working
  again. I would expect that the qemu emulated dhcp server responds either an
  ipv4 configuration that is working or its dns server/forwarder listens on the
  ipv6 address returned by the emulated dhcp server.

  I used latest qemu from git (
  b0bcc86d2a87456f5a276f941dc775b265b309cf) and used the following
  commands:

  $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M pc -device virtio-rng-pci -device
  virtio-net-pci,netdev=user.0 -drive file=buildenv.img,if=virtio,bus=1,unit=0
  -no-reboot -netdev 
user,id=user.0,hostfwd=tcp::5022-:22,hostfwd=tcp::7587-:7588
  -m 1024 -usb -nographic -smp 4

  buildenv.img is a debian jessie amd64 installation.

  Inside qemu the network is configured to use dhcp:

  $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
  allow-hotplug eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  $ ifconfig eth0
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:12:34:56
            inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
