Should work...test...mostly[1], but I don't actually know of any tools that
make use of it.

[1] 40 worked, 48 caused guest kernel stack corruption, didn't dig in to
see why yet.
Here's my simple wrapper to build up the command line:
QEMU=/home/chrisw/git/kvm/qemu-kvm/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64
BIOS=/home/chrisw/git/kvm/qemu-kvm/pc-bios
DISK=/home/chrisw/disk-snap1.img
SCRIPT=/home/chrisw/git/kvm/qemu-kvm/kvm/scripts/qemu-ifup
unset NETARGS
i=0
dev=4
func=0
max_dev=40
while [ $i -lt $max_dev ]
do
unset MULTIFUNC
if [ $(($i + 1)) -lt $max_dev -a $func -eq 0 ]; then
MULTIFUNC=",multifunction=on"
fi
NETARGS="${NETARGS} -netdev type=tap,id=netdev$i,script=$SCRIPT -device
virtio-net-pci,mac=52:54:00:12:34:$(printf "%.2x\n"
$i),netdev=netdev$i,bus=pci.0,addr=$dev.$func$MULTIFUNC"
i=$(($i+1))
func=$(($func+1))
if [ $func -eq 8 ]; then
func=0
dev=$(($dev+1))
fi
done
$QEMU -L $BIOS -m 1024 -drive file=$DISK,if=virtio,boot=on $NETARGS -vnc :0
