Simple question: Why are Ethernet and WiFi in sys-net..?

Is it

(A) Just for easy access to the same network for all App VMs..?

(B) Because this is isolating Ethernet and WiFi from the rest of the system, to 
stop DMA attacks..?

It's not clear to me whether the VT-D protection is occurring because you are 
putting these devices in sys-net.

Or whether the VT-D is implemented regardless of which VM the Wifi/Ethernet are 
in.

I ask this because I want to run some programs in sys-net, and wonder whether a 
DMA attack could screw up these programs.

Thanks
