OK, so this means packets sent to the VM makes it up to the tap interface,
but nothing consumes them. The VM also sends packets, that are properly
handled.
The bug could be in tap(4), or in qemu not reading from the tap(4) descriptor
to get available packets (maybe ktrace could give more details here ?).
The problem doesn't seem to be at the bridge level.
