Well, with -net user, I do not get any network interface on the
simulated kernel. Maybe there a special network driver to enable in the
kernel? The documentation does not say which network card is simulated,
and I do not see any with lspci.

Something else, is it possible to run kvm using SCHED_FIFO policy? I
tried that and I almost got a lockup, was probably saved by throttling.
