Is it possible to assign an IP to a tap device, used by something like QEMU, 
such that someone *inside* the QEMU environment can't modify?  Or, if they do 
modify their own IP, the network inside of QEMU will break, as the internal IP 
doesn't match what is attached to  tap?

I'm not seeing anything to that effect in the tap manual, but the part talking 
about 'control' seems to indicate that you can do this ...
