[PATCH v2] dns work

The following patches make the dns more universally usable. The
dns code relies on the nameserver and domainname environment variables
being set. The dhcp command correctly sets these variables, but when we
call it from within a script, the variables won't be available from the
parent context. This is solved by adding a 'net' device which only purpose
is to store the nameserver and domainname.
Also, tftpfs can now work with hostnames instead of only ip addresses.
