Not every local config quirk should go upstream, and if someone has
to edit the C source just to configure their tap interface a bit
differently, that's not a good sign.
Qemu already has a passable API for this in the form of thw network-up
and network-down scripts. Imho much more ability to hook into many
parts of device setup that way would be good. You don't need a rich
internal API then.
Even better if callout scripts are allowed to connect back to QMP and
tell Qemu what to do during machine setup and interesting events.
