3. Bridge to to LAN
Provides a bridge from the VM directly onto the LAN. This assumes there
is a bridge device on the host which has one or more of the hosts
physical NICs enslaved. The guest VM will have an associated tun device
created with a name of vnetN, which can also be overriden with the
<target> element. The tun device will be enslaved to the bridge. The
IP range / network configuration is whatever is used on the LAN. This
provides the guest VM full incoming & outgoing net access just like
a physical machine. Examples include
<interface type='bridge'>
<source dev='br0'/>
</interface>
This was actually wrong & violating the schema - it should instead be
<source bridge='br0'/>
<interface type='bridge'>
<source dev='br0'/>
<target dev='vnet7'/>
<mac address="11:22:33:44:55:66:/>
</interface>
Likewise s/source dev=/source bridge=/
The impl in the qemud/conf.c was also wrong - the attached patch will fix
it to be compliant with the schema & Xen impl which is what tools like
virt-manager/virt-install were expecting.
