      kvm: Improve network syntax and tests · 4b784cf8
      Miguel Di Ciurcio Filho authored
      
      The current syntax when defining a NIC uses a pair of arguments, like this:
      
      -net tap,vlan=0 -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio
      
      When using this pair, internally KVM will create a VLANState structure to send
      ethernet frames between the guest NIC and the host tap device. This is
      suboptimal and is going to be removed in the future. Plus, this combination
      breaks vhost-net support.
      
      The new syntax does not need the vlan craziness anymore, creating a direct 1:1
      relationship between the backend device and the frontend device.
      
      -netdev tap,id=netdev0 -device virtio-net-pci,mac=52:54:00:56:6c:55,netdev=netdev0
      
      The current code does not verify if vhost_net is available before starting an
      instance. All this tests are done verifying the KVM version installed on the
      node.
