Rather than having each NIC create it's own client, let's create the
client early and pass it down to the NIC.

One advantage is that we can add parameters which only the client
knows about, without having the NIC know anything about it - e.g. NICs
shouldn't know about netdev vs. vlan.

Another advantage is that we can easily get the client associated with
a qdev.

'-device $nic,net-client=$name' doesn't work ...

What this is needed for?

Looks like this is the *real* reason ...
