Description
### Description
In our experiment we found that in a newly created gVisor Sandbox, if the network stack is set to none, then there is a lo interface and it is enabled with loopback address of 127.0.0.1. But if the network stack is set to host, the lo interface still exists, but is disabled (i.e. state DOWN). These can all be explained by the code here. https://github.com/google/gvisor/blob/master/runsc/sandbox/network.go#L71
The problem is that in none mode, there is no networking outside of the sandbox. We want to both enable loopback, and also network externally. Is there a way to have lo enabled in host mode?
I have tried to duplicates L60-63 to L72, but it does not work.
