[bug#70494] [PATCH 03/23] syscalls: Add missing pieces for derivation build environment.

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi!

(Starting to review this patch series, it might take a while…)

Rather ‘set-loopback-interface-up’, by analogy with
‘set-network-interface-up’.  Also please add a docstring any maybe a
unit test, if possible.

Please add a docstring and basic unit test.

Ditto.
