We've been carrying this exact patch in RHEL 7 for several years. It reverts the change made in 2014 where we switched to using the virbr0 bridge for libguestfs networking instead of SLIRP. We thought SLIRP was going to become unsupported in qemu, but recently there have been more encouraging signs since it looks like SLIRP will be spun off as a separate project, running as a modular process and properly secured and supported.
This reverts commit 224de20b9a8d5ea56f6337f19b4ca237bb88eca0. ---
I gave this patch a try for a while, and it seems working fine so far. Maybe it is too close to 1.30, though?
Heh, I just hit this bug *again* minutes ago (because I've got a new laptop which didn't have the libvirt-whatever-network package installed). I _do_ think we should include this in 1.40. I'm going to try to do 1.40 today. There are still a few bugs in check-slow, but nothing too serious and I've fixed a lot of them already and I don't want to wait any longer.
