Yes.  Establishing rules for alias names for builtin devices should
reduce the pain, and allow stuff like this:

  -netdev user,id=mynetdev \
  -qom-set-property buildin-nic0.netdev=mynetdev

We probably also want a shorter name for -qom-set-property, and maybe
also syntax which allows to set multiple properties in one go, so the
command line doesn't become too long.

cheers,
  Gerd
