This is not suitable because it is adding attributes that are
specific to the Xen hypervisor.

As I mentioned before this should be handled with the existing
XML <model> element.


  ...no model element...  -> Default QEMU nic + Paravirt Driver backend
  <model type='e1000'/>  -> Only QEMU's e1000 nic
  <model type='rtl8139'/>  -> Only QEMU's rtl8139 nic
  <model type='ne2k_pci'/>  -> Only QEMU's ne2k nic
  <model type='xen'/>       -> Only Paravirt driver backend


This doesn't allow us to have the PV driver + an explicit
choice of QEMU nics, but I don't think that's important.
If you're enabling PV drivers, you don't care about specific
QEMU nic types.
