We use that as basis for the libreswan testing infrastructure:

https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/tree/master/testing/libvirt

Then based on MAC address (hardcoded in libvirt xml files) we can fire
up VMs that mount our testing directory and source directory as 9p,
and /testing/guestbin allows us to auto-config the VMs, and run the
various tests, capture output files, even when IPsec breaks all
networking on the VMs. On the host we run tcpdump on the bridge devices
to capture all traffic.

Currently we use f17 guests, I hope rhel7 wil get writable 9p
filesystems.
