QEMU currently aborts when being started with "-nic model=rocker" or with
"-net nic,model=rocker". This happens because the "rocker" device is not
a normal NIC but a switch, which has different properties. Thus we should
only consider real NIC devices for "-nic" and "-net". These devices can
be identified by the "netdev" property, so check for this property before
adding the device to the list.
