I think we should use -netdev here?
I've had that in the original version of this patch, but Paolo suggested
to use -nic instead since this is more "user-friendly":

I personally don't mind whether we use "-netdev" or "-nic" in the
examples, as long as we finally get rid of "-net" there...
Right.
Please let me
know which way you prefer, so I can respin the patch again if necessary.

But I think we should be consistent: in your patch some "-net" was
replaced by "-nic", but others were replaced by "-netdev".
Thanks
