I wouldn't call this docu.

It is frustrating that a low-feature application like VirtualBox is
able to that out of the box but qemu is not.

I'm a virtualbox user as well.

As I understand it, virtualbox has a built in bridge that is used for this 
purpose and makes the various network configurations somewhat transparent.

Having professionally supported qemu/KVM/libvirt in enterprise products, I can say it is a bit more complex to set up, but it's much more flexible and powerful. When you add in PCI 
pass through, I'd say it's a worthwhile trade
