[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Add support for Macvtap and Linux Bridge

[Ramon Medeiros]

Kimchi today creates network pool using macvtap. Now, we want the user 
to choose if it want Linux Bridge or macvtap.

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.
