AFAIK, vde_switch is still unsupported by libvirt and nobody seems to
work on it these days.
Most people wanting vde_switch (or open vswitch) enough leave libvirt.
On #IRC I got point to message:

It seems there is a patch ready. I will test it against 0.9.0. What is
the procedure to get the patch reviewed and eventually get into libvirt?
I mean VMware has vSwitch and it is very powerful.
I'll checkout the vswitch as well.

Yes, this is what I do for now.

Plus more features (i.e.: easy virtual switch link between hosts),
maintenance facilities, etc.
