commit subject should rather be

"ui: vm network: allow to override mtu for virtio devices"

We have that property since commit 61a14cde8d568e552d3deaab2da76b479b8aca7b but
it's only effective for when the VirtIO driver is used. The ui should reflect
that as it may get really confusing for users with e1000(e) or other non-virtio
models. MTU changes are notoriously tricky as it needs to be right in the whole
network path, so the UX is IMO important for this
