As I mentioned before this should be handled with the existing XML <model> element. ...no model element... -> Default QEMU nic + Paravirt Driver backend <model type='e1000'/> -> Only QEMU's e1000 nic <model type='rtl8139'/> -> Only QEMU's rtl8139 nic <model type='ne2k_pci'/> -> Only QEMU's ne2k nic <model type='xen'/> -> Only Paravirt driver backend This doesn't allow us to have the PV driver + an explicit choice of QEMU nics, but I don't think that's important. If you're enabling PV drivers, you don't care about specific QEMU nic types.
