[meta-virtualization] [PATCH 0/4] improve ability to run multiple dnsmasq instances

[Mark Asselstine]

I have some minor changes to cleanup some of the sysvinit stuff out
when using systemd, so I will have a V2 of this changeset. Regardless
please send any review comments to this V1 as what is here is still
valid.
