No, I did not get network going yet. I saw the same two options, either hack libvirt to
be
able to deal with default NIC or add virtio support to the kernel.
I gave the second option a try and confirmed it works; based on those
results, I've opened
https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/pull/63
Let's see whether or not the maintainer likes the approach :)
In the meantime, I have tweaked your patches as agreed upon and
pushed them. Congratulations on your first contribution to libvirt!
