The function name is a bit obscure.  How about this?

  remove_network_ifcfg_hwaddr_entries ();

Also needs a space between the function name and the parentheses.

It doesn't really matter but I think you could write this as:

  List.iter (g#aug_rm |> ignore) paths;

but your version may be clearer.

Rather than throwing away the error it's better to use 'g#rm_f' and
don't try to catch G.Error at all.  I guess the same problem exists in
virt-sysprep.

Is this a fix for any particular bug?  If so it needs to have
‘(RHBZ#xxxxxx)’ added to the end of the commit heading.

Patch looks OK otherwise.
