This breaks the test suite, you'll need to extend the network-* test in
tests/xmlparse.py

"""
Second list contains 2 additional elements.
First extra element 0:
<XMLProperty ./@dev 140596782899032>

- []
+ [<XMLProperty ./@dev 140596782899032>,
+  <XMLProperty ./@managed 140596782936352>]


This means that there are XML properties that are
untested in the test suite. This could be caused
by a previous test suite failure, or if you added
a new property and didn't extend the test suite.
Look into extending clitest.py and/or xmlparse.py.
"""

I don't know much about this feature. Can you provide an example <network>
definition that we can add to tests/testdriver.xml?

Also, is the XML meant to only use an SR-IOV host device? If so, is that
something we can detect from nodedev XML? Right now looks like your patch
shows all host devices regardless of whether they are SR-IOV enabled

Thanks,
