It's apparently not reasonable to generate random MACs for NICs to be
detached. A better way to fix the problem is to check wheter enough
information is gathered from xml file to uniquely identify the NICs
to be detached, if not, fail and give user a hint. For NICs, the
information could be mac address or pci address.
