Before I noticed this v3, I send a reply to your v2 sugesting
that we don't need to add any new commands/options. We can
use existing inet_parse() helper function to parse the address
info and transparently support IPv4/6 in the existing commands
and options. This matches normal practice elsewhere in QEMU
for IP dual stack.

I'm all for this, fwiw.
