Scope is configuration of the primary interfaces and default routes, similar to how it is done using hosts.yaml/networks.yaml for virtual machines.
Bridge/VLAN/Tap interfaces are already managed using Salt, so are netconfig/nameservers.

One solution would be to split hosts.yaml into hosts_virtual.yaml and hosts_physical.yaml, another would be to include the machines in the existing hosts.yaml file and implement a key which indicates the type.
Alternatively the configuration could just be placed in the existing cluster/ pillars, which exist for every physical machine acting as a hypervisor (which is practically every physical machine).
