Yes, but if one was running multiple qemu guests, it would be cleaner to
implement this thru vde_switch instead of in qemu directly. That way eth0 is
intercepted by only a single process. (Also no worries about having permissions
to intercept packets and etc for qemu - just run vde_switch as root and qemu
as a regular user.)
