Well it's not the qemu realtek device like I thought it was - I tried it
on a domain with no network interfaces at all. The other thing that uses
that vector is the USB interface.

I have noticed that after a restore, the restored computer has reverted
back to the 'mouse' rather than the 'tablet' driver... maybe there is
something in that? I'll keep looking.
