Beyond that, networks of the type that would end up calling 
networkStartNetworkVirtual (forward modes 'route' and "nat') don't 
support using OVS bridges anyway, so this code in 
networkStartNetworkVirtual and networkShutdownNetworkVirtual will never 
be executed anyway.

That was my thought too. Although I looked back in the git history and 
saw that support for setting the bandwidth of forward mode='bridge' (aka 
"unamanaged bridge network") was added incidentally as a part of 
decoupling the network driver from the hypervisor drivers:

https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/0a85aad582322034b758f8aa0199641b42be173e

which was a bugfix on top of

https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/42a92ee93d5432ebd9ebfd409903b5287fc7d7ff

So setting the QoS for an unmanaged bridge goes against the original 
philosophy of that type of network, but we already do it in the case of 
Linux host bridges. I suppose if someone goes to the effort of adding 
the extra config to set bandwidth, then they must know that this is 
going to trash any existing bandwidth setting for the bridge, and are 
willing to accept that (most likely because they *haven't* set anything 
directly via OVS).
