Hey, So, here are the patches needed to complete the QEMU NIC hotplug work by supporting network and bridge backed interfaces.
We support this by passing a tap file descriptor to qemu over the monitor socket using SCM_RIGHTS.
The monitor commands required for this (getfd and closefd) are queued up in Anthony's queue and should be in qemu-0.11-rc1 which is due to be released very soon:

Note: I just remembered I'm not handling missing support for these commands very well. I'll make it handle an 'unknown command' reply gracefully by failing the attach tommorrow.
Yes that's my main uncertainty about this patch set, we assume the support is present and I don't see any detection code, can you send this quickly to finish the serie of patches ?
Yep, the below hunk is all we need - I'll squash it into 7/7
