As an example of why this is so, if the management stack wants to 
configure the tap interface further (say, add some ebtables rules 
guarding the new interface) it must push this into qemu or stop using 
-net bridge.

Having the tap accessible to management also allows it to run tcpdump or 
collect statistics on it at runtime.
