Libvirt bases its decision about whether to apply the vnet_hdr flag
to the tap interface on whether or not the selected model is
VirtIO. Originally, VirtIO was the only model to support the
vnet_hdr in QEMU; however, the e1000e & vmxnet3 adapters also
support it(seemingly from introduction based on commits). This
passes the whole packet to the host, reducing emulation overhead
and improving performance.

Should really live in the qemu_inteface.c file, with
a qemuOnterfaceIsVnetCompatModel name, since the decision
is inherantly tied to QEMU, and inappropriate for other
virt drivers.

I would think the qemu_interface.c file is more for the actual setup
functionality rather than simple helper functions. Would the
qemu_domain.c file make for sense?
If it's network interface specific and also qemu specific, then it
should go into qemu_interface.c. That file didn't use to exist (all the
functions there were just included in qemu_command.c) but was created as
a place to split out all the interface-specific stuff (not just the
toplevel "setup this kind of interface" functions).
