Guess this slipped in somehow :)

Same comments about spacing, naming the capabilities and introducing
them in their separate commit as for virtio-blk apply.

Ewww.

We really, really need to make the handling of model names for
network interface more sane.

In the meantime, can you add some sort of (ideally compile-time)
sanity check to ensure that the function is either called with
model == -1 && modelStr != NULL or model >= 0 && modelStr == NULL?
Or at the very least some documentation on how you're supposed to
be calling it.


I'll respond to the rest of the review in time but I just wanted to mention here: I'm working on a series to try and untangle the net model mess and it undoes this hack. It converts nearly all usage of net->model internally to use an enum, but preserves the string passthrough in xen+qemu to be dealt with separately since that will take some discussion and probably need to be phased out after a grace period. I plan to finish + post the series today unless I hit unexpected hurdles.

Thanks for the reviews!
