Hi,
this is the patch to introduce a NIC model fallback to default when model
specified is not supported. It's been tested on i386-softmmu target on
i386 host using the Windows XP x86 virtual machine and by trying to setup
the invalid (unsupported) model of NIC device. Also, the new constant in
the net.h called the DEFAULT_NIC_MODEL has been introduced to be able to
change the default NIC model easily. This variable is being used to set
the default NIC model when necessary.
Also, some bits per mips_jazz were added but usage of some constant for
MIPS is not necessary since there is only one NIC model supported there.
