The original thought was that the -raw option will be integrated in a
pass through manner, that is bypassing the qemu vlan (internal bridge).
This will allow qemu to use the mac address of the SR-IOV (e.g HW VF,
software macvlan) NIC as the mac delivered to the VM, in that sense it
is pretty different from the -net socket option.
Or.
