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.
