Title:
  QEMU refers to VLAN, but doesn't mean 802.1Q

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Throughout the (sparse) documentation and the cmd-line help text, Qemu
  refers to VLAN ("virtual" LANs), which are unrelated to 802.1Q (tagged
  ethernet) VLAN, which, IMHO is _very_ confusing. Beyond that, it's
  also unnecessary, as the network in question isn't "virtual", only the
  devices used to implement it are.

  To avoid further frustration and confusion, can the term VLAN,
  _please_ be removed from source and documentation and replaced with
  something more suitable? Perhaps vNIC (seems like VMware is using that
  term for a similiar concept)?
