    docs: stop documenting the e1000 NIC model as the default · 416b7190
    Daniel P. Berrangé authored
    
    
    The default NIC model for QEMU varies per machine type, and is liable to
    change across machine type versions. Documenting e1000 NIC as the
    default for PC/i386 is thus misleading to users at best. In particular
    the PC q35 machine type switched to use e1000e, but only in machine
    type versions after 2.11.
    
    Rather than try to explain which NIC model is used for each machine
    type version, remove mention of e1000 as the default, and steer users
    towards always specifying their desired model.
