We do use socket devices in the form

  -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=X,mac=MMM -net socket,vlan=X,mcast=Y:Z

but presumably this can just be rewritten as

  -netdev socket,id=netX,mcast=Y:Z -device e1000,netdev=netX,mac=MMM

It's only the case of a nic connected to multiple backends by a VLAN that's
being deprecated here, not any of the previously supported backends?

Cheers,

Chris.
