+          qemu: Support running SLIRP networking in a separate process
+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          User can configure the slirp-helper path in <code>qemu.conf</code>.
+          It will start a slirp-helper process to provide SLIRP networking
+          when the VM is started with network interface "user". That will allow
+          stricter security policies for QEMU SLIRP network.
