 This series has a number of small things to improve, but seems the right
approach to me and in general looks very good. I'll followup individual
patches.

 Two issues:

 1. The following sequence triggers an assert()

        (qemu) netdev_add user,id=foo
        (qemu) info network

    The netdev_add command is available in my tree (see below).

 2. The last patch conflicts with patches from Markus, you can
    rebase against my tree to solve that:
