Are you deploying KVM and worried about the one-time downtime that might
be introduced by setting up a bridged setup on the host?

Once you have the bridge working you can add/remove tap interfaces from
it without affecting the host's physical interface.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.

Perhaps macvtap is what you want:
