Hotplug network devices #665

Closed amshinde closed 6 years ago

amshinde commented 6 years ago

Network devices(tap/macvtap) are currently passed while starting up the virtual machine. It would be useful to hotplug the network devices instead after the VM has been created, this will help perform some of the network setup in parallel. This would be a first step in implementing support for use cases like docker network create.

@amshinde - can you hotplug vhost-user sockets as well?
