Virtual Network API for QEMU

[Radek Simko]

Recompiling with these few changes helped and the networking drivers
_seems_ to be working on macOS.
At least I got past the error I was getting initially.

I'm just now dealing with a slightly different set of problems related to
libvirt sockets on macOS.
The Homebrew formula ships a launchd plist which doesn't seem to do socket
activation, unlike systemd.
I worked around that by setting the socket dir path manually in the config:

unix_sock_dir = "/usr/local/var/run/libvirt"

which did make libvirtd create "libvirt-sock" in that directory as
expected, but per docs there should also be a secondary read-only socket
"libvirt-sock-ro" https://libvirt.org/daemons.html#monolithic-sockets and
it's not there for some reason. Is there any additional configuration
needed to activate that secondary socket?

Feel free to tell me if this is getting too off-topic btw. - The big
picture is that I'm trying to get libvirt working on darwin and automate
RPi virtualization via Vagrant (vagrant-libvirt) and taking it step by step.
