Actually, libvirt's qemu driver will use vhost-net automatically as long
as the qemu binary supports it (unless 1) the domain is using TCG
instead of KVM, or 2) the interface configuration specifically says
"<driver name='qemu" .../>).

The successful tests should all be done in qemuxml2xmltest.c as well

As mentioned in the previous patch, the RNG and docs changes should be
in the previous patch. (In this patch you're going to want to add an
entry to docs/news.xml)

I haven't checked - does this get set automatically when the vhost-net
FD's are successfully opened?

I wonder if anyone would be confused by the lack of the exact option
name "poll_us" in these error messages.

Huh. I just noticed there's a lot of duplicated code between
qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine() and qemuDomainAttachNetDevice()... (not
your problem, but it seems like this is just *screaming* to be
vombined/consolidated to eliminate behavioral differences / half-fixed
bugs etc.

So this is supposed to fail because the config doesn't explicitly say
"driver name='vhost'". But as I said in the review of patch 2, vhost-net
is used by default. So this would normally be a correct config.

This one is okay - it *should* fail.
