qemu: support vhost-net for generic ethernet devices
From qemu's point of view these are still just tap devices, so there's no reason they shouldn't work with vhost-net; as a matter of fact, Raja Sivaramakrishnan <srajag00@yahoo.com> verified on libvir-list that at least the qemu_command.c part of this patch works: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-December/msg01314.html (the hotplug case is extrapolation on my part).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
