If all you want is just to have a local VM and no special requirements, 
libvirt provides you with a virtual bridge (virbr0) that is NAT-ed to 
your public uplink.
All VMs are by default connected to this virtual bridge, unless you 
specify otherwise and given an IP from the 192.168.122.0/24 range; your 
host machine will be 192.168.122.1.

All of the above happens autmagically once you start libvirtd. If you 
want to have the VM on the same public network as the host then indeed 
you need to configure a bridge manully and connect both your public 
interface (eth0) and your virtual machine's interface (vnetX) to it.
