Now that we assume QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV, the only thing left to check

I see you're having "pun" writing these commit messages ;)

With the change, this error message becomes misleading: it's not
that -netdev support is unavailable, it's just that -device can't
be used for the NIC and we can't (won't?) use -netdev without it.
I guess you can just s/Netdev/nicdev/ and call it a day, it's not
like it makes the error message any harder, or easier, to grasp.

I think you should leave the comment in, because most of it still
applies even in our brave new, legacy-free world.
Basically all you should do is drop option 2, and (optionally)
rework option 3 a little. The result could look like
* Old way: -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=1 -net tap,vlan=1
* New way: -device e1000,id=netdev1 -netdev type=tap,id=netdev1
I suggest reworking the "new way" line because I think having the
guest part and host part listed in the same order both times makes
the whole thing easier to understand.

Again, you probably want to mention that -netdev requires -device,
so that the comment won't look completely out of place or require
developers to be intimately aware of how the two work together.

The full comment, only half of which is contained in the hunk, is
If qemu doesn't support vhost-net mode (including the -netdev
command option), don't try to open the device.
Once again, it should point to -device rather than -netdev.
Trusting that you'll tweak both comments and error messages so that
they will not confuse the next soul wandering through these lands,
