Once you have configured bridge networking, you have to create
virtualized machines with switch '--bridge=br0'. IIRC, this is supported
only since 9.04 version. So, if you have 9.04, this would be
ubuntu-vm-builder example:

ubuntu-vm-builder kvm jaunty --rootsize=5000 --mem 1024 --user aljosa
--mirror http://hr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --libvirt qemu:///system -d
my_new_vm --hostname my_hostname --bridge=br0

If you are using older version, interface part of host xml should look
like this:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='00:16:11:11:11:11'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
    </interface>

where mac address is generated by libvirt/kvm.
