Configuration of the guest's IP from the domain XML (via <ip
address='blah'/> in the <interface> is only supported for Xen and LXC,
because they are the only drivers where libvirt is given the opportunity
to directly set the IP address of the guest.

For QEMU, neither libvirt nor qemu has any visibility into the guest's
IP configuration. The best they can do is provide a dhcp server on the
network connection and hope that the guest requests and IP address via
DHCP. For that reason, <ip address='blah'/> in <interface> isn't
supported for QEMU domains.

If you have knowledge of how the IP address configuration is stored in
the guest OS' file system, you can use the libguestfs tools to modify
the proper file in the guest disk image, but setting it via the libvirt
domain XML simply isn't possible.
