[libvirt] [RFC PATCH] Set and reset MAC for PASSTHROUGH mode

Hi to all,
there is a problem present in libvirt that when a PASSTHROUGH mode
DIRECT
NIC connection is made the MAC address of the NIC is not automatically
set
and reset to the configured VM MAC and back again.
The attached patch fixes this problem by setting and resetting the MAC
while remembering the previous setting while the VM is running.
This also works if libvirtd is restarted while the VM is running.
The storing of the previous MAC address is done in a link ( currently
in /tmp,
but should probably go into /var/run somewhere ).
Why a link ? It only uses one inode, no need to waste a whole data block
for 16 bytes or less. It's also more readable by simply looking at it
with 'ls -l'.
Best regards
Dirk
