Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

libvirt libxl picks its own default with respect to the default NIC
to use. libxlMakeNic is the one responsible for this and on boot it
picks LIBXL_NIC_TYPE_VIF_IOEMU for HVM domains such that it accomodates
both PV and emulated one. The good behaving guest at boot will then
select the pv and unplug the emulated device.
Now, on HVM when attaching an interface it will pick the same default
that is LIBXL_NIC_TYPE_VIF_IOEMU which as a result will fail the attach
(see xen commit 32e9d0f ("libxl: nic type defaults to vif in hotplug for
hvm guest"). Xen doesn't yet support the hotplug of emulated devices,
but we don't want to rule out that case either, which might get support
in the future. Hence we simply reverse the defaults when we are
attaching the interface which allows libvirt to prefer the PV nic first
without adding "model='netfront'" following the same pattern as above
commit. Also to avoid ruling out the emulated one we set to
LIBXL_NIC_TYPE_IOEMU when setting a model type that is not 'netfront'.

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.
