I would be much more inclined to consider taking raw and improving

something that will forever plague users if we include this feature.
In fact, I think it's fixable with a raw socket bound to a macvlan.
Would that be enough?
What setup does that entail on the part of a user? Wouldn't we be back
to square one wrt users having to run archaic networking commands in
order to set things up?
Unlike bridge, qemu could set up macvlan without disrupting
host networking. The only issue would be cleanup if qemu
is killed.
