I'd argue that that's considerably less "simple" than letting libvirt do
the work for you -- but see
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSEthernet to have
libvirt avoid doing anything more complex than setting up a tap device
and then running a script of your choosing to do the remaining work.
