The sabrelite machine model used by qemu-system-arm is based on the
Freescale/NXP i.MX6Q processor. This SoC has an on-board ethernet
controller which is supported in QEMU using the imx_fec.c module
(actually called imx.enet for this model.)
The include/hw/arm/fsm-imx6.h file defines the interrupt vectors for the
imx.enet device like this:
#define FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_1588_IRQ 118
#define FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_IRQ 119
According to https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/IMX6DQRM.pdf,
page 225, in Table 3-1. ARM Cortex A9 domain interrupt summary,
interrupts are as follows.
150 ENET MAC 0 IRQ
151 ENET MAC 0 1588 Timer interrupt
where
150 - 32 == 118
151 - 32 == 119
In other words, the vector definitions in the fsl-imx6.h file are reversed.
Fixing the interrupts alone causes problems with older Linux kernels:
The Ethernet interface will fail to probe with Linux v4.9 and earlier.
Linux v4.1 and earlier will crash due to a bug in Ethernet driver probe
error handling. This is a Linux kernel problem, not a qemu problem:
the Linux kernel only worked by accident since it requested both interrupts.
For backward compatibility, generate the Ethernet interrupt on both interrupt
lines. This was shown to work from all Linux kernel releases starting with
v3.16.

This adds the ENET device to the i.MX6 SOC.
This was tested by booting Linux on an Qemu i.MX6 instance and accessing
the internet from the linux guest.
