My understanding is that libvirt would use vconfig to create tagged
interfaces, while using a physical interface as trunk (e.g., eth0 is the
trunk, eth0.20 the interface with the '20' vlan tag).
Yes, this type of configuration is within scope of the network
interface management APis, that Laine & David Lutterkort are
currently working on. THe underlying config will be done by netcf
library.
I don't know how libvirt would need to be extended to be able to
properly 'manage' those 802.1q-enabled virtual switches. Another
question would be how libvirt-CIM would support this.
Once libvirt provides the network interface functionality, then the
libvirt-CIM developers can map it into the appropriate DMTF schema
