I have a process watching libvirt event to add a route like "ip route
add 192.0.2.147/32 dev vnet18" once the VM is spawned. The host is then
responsible for any routing to/from the VM. I don't want the VM to be
part of a bridge.
OK, yes, then you want just <interface type='X'> where X is one of
'macvtap', 'ethernet', etc., feel free to find the right one here:
