I don't think there's a need to "manage" this rtl8139 at
all at this level. Let's declare that "qemu-kvm 1.3+" will
switch from rtl8139 to e1000 by default as a more suitable
in modern world, -- the same way as qemu did the switch
earlier, and be done with that.  I think.

Note that this is JUST for "-net nic" users, which should
be the minority (proper usage is -device rtl8139 or -device
e1000, with explicit model).

Thanks,
