nwfilter uses iptables and ebtables, which only work properly on
tap-based network connections (*not* on macvtap, for example), but we
just ignore any <filterref> elements for other types of networks,
potentially giving users a false sense of security.
This patch checks the network type and fails/logs an error if any
domain <interface> has a <filterref> when the connection isn't using a
tap device.
This resolves:

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
