If you check http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICS then it is not much clear if the type bridged is more suitable or ethernet cause the bridged section says: "This assumes there is a bridge device on the host which has one or more of the hosts physical NICs enslaved" and which is what vbox is doing if i have got the interpretation right. so frankly even thought the patch looks sane I am not sure about the terminology there and am confused as well. Maybe someone with greater knowledge in the networking area of libvirt should comment on it.
