Description

On real omicron deployments (such as the dogfood cluster on rack2), currently helios VMs are not fully functional from a networking perspective (due to oxidecomputer/stlouis#326).

This is obviously not a propolis issue per se, but in the fullness of time I imagine we will have a more crisp story for supported guest OSes. We will need helios VMs to run our own infrastructure on Oxide, so for now, I am filing an issue to track this here as well.

Research direction

Start with the real omicron deployment context described for the dogfood cluster on rack2, then read oxidecomputer/stlouis#326 to understand the stated networking dependency. The issue does not identify files, tests, or a concrete change; done would require a defined supported-guest and networking outcome for helios VMs.
