In both the RH and FP docs, the only reference that I've found is in
this section:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-Network_Configuration-Bridged_networking_with_libvirt.html
RHEL 5 has a similar section so it's not a new setting, just a
not-well-documented one (like a DNS or DHCP one that you referred to
recently).
