Rich said in <
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1844341#c1>:
The libvirt backend has never allowed the iface parameter. We
should
probably ignore it in the direct backend since it's never been possible
to use this parameter correctly.
Remove the handling of "iface" in the direct (QEMU) backend. Refresh the
documentation regarding both backends.
