[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] change q35 default NIC to e1000e

[Paolo Bonzini]

The Intel 82574 NIC has better performance and more features than
the aging e1000 (aka 82540), for example MSI-X.  This patch chooses it
by default for the Q35 machine type.  As suggested by Thomas, instead
of special casing e1000e, all PCI NIC device names become valid models
for "-net nic,model=..." or "-nic model=..." (patches 1-2).

Paolo Bonzini (3):
  qom: introduce object_class_get_list_sorted
  net: allow using any PCI NICs in -net or -nic
  q35: change default NIC to e1000e
