Guess this slipped in somehow :)

Same comments about spacing, naming the capabilities and introducing
them in their separate commit as for virtio-blk apply.

Ewww.

We really, really need to make the handling of model names for
network interface more sane.

In the meantime, can you add some sort of (ideally compile-time)
sanity check to ensure that the function is either called with
model == -1 && modelStr != NULL or model >= 0 && modelStr == NULL?
Or at the very least some documentation on how you're supposed to
be calling it.

The change from STREQ() to virDomainNetHasVirtioModel() should be
squashed into the previous patch.
