User-mode networking on macos uses gvforwarder running in the guest + a vsock socket to forward the networking data between the guest and the host.
vfkit has had support for --device virtio-net,unixSocketPath for a while. This allows to pass the networking data directly from the hypervisor to gvisor-tap-vsock without the need for a process running in the guest. This is similar to vpnkit which was used with hyperkit (see commit cf173bc)

I'm not sure if this requires bundle changes or not, possibly not as gvforwarder will exit if a 'real' network interface exists.
