[virt-tools-list] Add an option allowing the use of a defined tap device with "virt-install"

[Tina Rakotoarivelo]

Hello,

We use KVM with libvirt on a scientific instrument designed to supports 
experiment-driven research in all areas of computer science related to 
large-scale parallel or distributed systems.

Our users do not have root access on the production environment. A 
script based on "sudo" is available to create tap devices (tap0...tapn). 
So they can run their guest VMs with "kvm" or "virsh" commands using the 
defined tap devices and a defined range of MAC adresses (we have an ACL 
for DHCP requests from all VMs).

Now, we want to allow the users to use "virt-install" with a tap device 
already created.
So we want to evaluate if adding that option to "virt-install" is 
difficult or not?

Thanks for your help,
Regards,
