8 nic limit

Hi!

qemu-kvm seems to support only 8 network interfaces. I found this posting from 2009:

Why is MAX_NICS still only 8?
Please raise this limit in future releases.

I have some use cases where much more than 8 nics are needed. (Lot's of VLANs...)

Thanks,

P.s: Please CC me.

If you avoid the legacy -net and create networks via "-device <nic>" and -netdev, you won't face this limit.
