IMHO, this code does not belong in the virNetwork apis / driver
because that restricts its usefulness to guests using the virtual
network configuration mode, ignoring any guests using bridged
configs which are arguably far more important since those have
ability to spoof MACs on the real LAN, not merely local machine.
