(sorry, I'm kinda new around here :-) I don't see how to put everything into net.c. Options parsing/setting go inside each backend that adds a NetClientDump instance (just a few lines as seen in my patch on net/tap.c as example), and when packets come through net.c (qemu_deliver_packet_*()) we get them, right?
