Well, with info network and running the guest stopped, everything's 
doable.  But it's a rather roundabout way compared to creating the 
interface, configuring the !@#$%^ out of it, and passing it on to the guest.

btw, for network hotplug, you'll need to create/config/pass the 
interface, since you can't stop the guest.
