I'm not convinced that storing it only for virtio-net is the
right approach. This feels like a generic concept, that just
happens to only be implemented by virtio-net in QEMU today.
IOW, it is valid to store it in the virDOmainNetDef in a
place that's generally applicable. Any restriction to virtio-net
belongs in the QEMU driver, rather than the XML parser.
Agreed, although in light of your comment on 8/12 (suggesting we just
create an entire new subelement), I guess the point is moot :-)
