tools: gbhub - many Game Boys on one network (DHCP pool + inter-GB routing)
A virtual switch/router/DHCP for N emulators. It leases each Game Boy a distinct
address (10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3, ...), routes packets between them by destination IP,
floods broadcasts, and NATs external traffic out a TUN. No kernel changes are
needed: the GB just sends to a dst IP over its one link and the hub decides
GB<->GB vs GB<->internet.
sudo tools/gbhub 2 netd "ping 10.0.0.2"
Verified two Game Boys talking to each other:
[GB0] dhcp: leased 10.0.0.2 [GB1] dhcp: leased 10.0.0.3
[GB0] netd: up (10.0.0.2) [GB1] ping 10.0.0.2 -> 4/4 received
DHCP is keyed per connection (not MAC), so identical GBs still get unique IPs;
each emulator gets its own ROM copy so battery saves don't clash.
