device address, as usual. The old -net nic provides parameter addr
for that, it is silently ignored when the NIC is not a PCI device.

-net nic accepts vectors=V for all models, but it's silently ignored
except for virtio-net-pci (model=virtio). With -device, only devices
that support it accept it.
