I would convert bridged setup on host to the routed one. Then you will have several separate interfaces on host, each one used for communication with only one guest and it will be easy to attach tc to them.
In other words, there's no solution for bridged networking?
I'm afraid so. Maybe it could be possible in some strange setup, but I think it would be too complicated, if possible at all.
How would routed networking impact the guest performance? The reason I went for bridged was that it was supposed to have the least overheads and here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-linux-kvm-virtualization-bridged-networkin... said it was required for servers with multiple network cards. Which is the case here because I have 3 NICs, one each for Internet traffic, networked storage and user access.
You can combine bridged and routed setup - for example, use bridging for storage, routing for internet and user access.
Using routed setup have one more advantage - you can use firewall on host to filter guests' traffic.
