I have not tried nfs with our user mode network. But I think walimis can
do it with

	sudo ./kvm --network tap

We need sudo because we need CAP_NET_ADMIN to open /dev/net/tun.

By default, the ip address in host side is:

192.168.33.1/24

In guest side, you need to config a ip address for our guest:

	$ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.33.15
	$ sudo route add default gw 192.168.33.1
	$ ping 192.168.33.1

That's it.

If you want to access the real world in guest, try NAT or Bridge the tap
device.
