Normally, I'd say unplug eth0 and plug it back in with the new switch,
but that requires that eth0 be down first.  Is that OK, or does the
thing need to be configured up the whole time?

I don't think this is a fundamental restriction, BTW.  Offhand, I
think it should be possible to switch out the underlying host device
without disturbing the UML eth0.  It would require some thought, and
it was just easier to require that the thing be downed before it's
unplugged.
