+  * remove autogenerated macvtap names from migration XML
+
+    Autogenerated macvtap device names were being left in the
+    migration XML, which could result in libvirt erroneously deleting
+    the macvtap device of a different guest in the aftermath of
+    failing to restart the guest on the destination host. Removing the
+    autogenerated names avoids this.
