Re: [libvirt] RFC: exposing a config setting to force vhost-net support on/off

2) Another possibility would be to define a new sub-element
of<interface>, called "<driver>", similar
to what's done in the storage device XML. In the future, other backend
driver-related items could be placed there:
<devices>
<interface type='network'>
<source network='default'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver vhost='default|require|disable'/> (or
"mode='default|kernel|user'")
</interface>
</devices>
3) A third method, which might make the XML file look less ugly if, in the future, there
were *many*
more configurable items for interface backends (this one was inspired by
the<memtune> element):
<devices>
<interface type='network'>
<source network='default'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver>
<vhost>default|require|disable</vhost>
</driver>
</interface>
</devices>
Either of these seems useful, perhaps the name <parameters>. There's
already other tunable parameters that could conceivably be exposed here.
