Interesting. That would be more trickier then just to fwd 1 genetlink
socket to the hypervisor.

Also, I think that the solution should handle multiple guest oses. What
I'm thinking about is some generic bonding description passed over some
communication channel into vm. The vm either use it for configuration,
or ignores it if it is not smart enough/updated enough.
