It is an implementation of the network driver using a bridge, but will
not be the only impl forever. I'm planning ahead for the time when we
add a 2nd implementation of the network driver, that is based on using
NetworkManager to manage this functionality. This is what will finally
enable qemu:///session to become a viable option for desktop virt since
we won't need to have root privileges for messing around with bridges.

Ideally we'd rename the methods, but I didn't think that would be
worth the churn
