Yes and no. It is basically what I was thinking - *always* wait to bring
up the devices right before turning on the CPU of the guest. However, it
doesn't account for hotplug - In that case, the CPUs have already been
started, and the single device that has just been hotplugged needs to be
started. This patch doesn't do anything about that. And there are a few
other problems I saw from reading through it as well (this is without
compiling/testing it):
Thanks very much for your detailed comments, this is exactly what I was
looking for and why I marked as RFC -- Wanted to make sure I was even in
the right ballpark with this.

Is this always the proper vmop (MIGRATE_IN_FINISH) no matter what the
situation is? (remember it could now be happening not as the result of a
failure during migration, but also as the result of a failure during the
initial start of a domain, or during a hotplug).
D'oh. Good catch, I forgot this was even being passed in (as you
probably guessed, it was copied directly from my migration-specific patch).
(I *really* dislike the way that this vmop (which is only used by low
level macvtap functions) must be passed around through multiple layers
of the callstack in higher level functions (existing problem), and
wish/hope that there is a way to make it more localized, perhaps by
storing the current state in the NetworkDef object as status somehow.
But that's a separate issue, so for now we have to just continue passing
it around.)

I think it would be better to have a single function that takes a
virDomainNetPtr and contains the switch statement. This way 1) a call to
it can easily be added in the proper place to support hotplug, and 2)
that one function can later be moved to the same final location as what
is currently called networkAllocateActualDevice() and those two
functions can become part of an API that will allow non-privileged
libvirt instances to use these network types.
OK, sure.

I think the verb Start would be better than Initialize in this case

Yeah, I went back-and-forth on the naming, Start sounds fine.
Also, I think we should create a qemu_interface.c to contain all of
these functions, similar to how we currently have a qemu_hostdev.c for
functions related to hostdev.
OK.
