If you want to understand the pros and cons of this features, we can
see here:
https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/wiki/Create-guest-network
Proposal:
Add "mode" option when creating a network pool.
If macvtap is choosed, keep the actual procedure.
If bridge is choosed, create linux bridge using net commands(brctl)
and create network pool pointing to the new bridge.
Create tests for this.
I approve this proposal, but perhaps we can rely on Ginger to do the
linux bridge? I am worried about having both kimchi and ginger messing
with the network interfaces.
