libvirt can't setup simple bridged network?

[Ian Pilcher]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!  I'm reading the libvirt network XML
format documentation[1], and I can't figure out how to create a simple
bridged network - no NAT, no routing, no OVS, no  macvtap, etc.  I.e.,
just a Linux bridge with a single physical interface attached.

None of the 3 scenarios listed for <forward mode='bridge'> describe the
simple setup that I'm trying to create, so it looks like I'll need to
create the bridge separately.  (It's not hard to do, it just seems like
such a weird gap the in the functionality.)
