Re: [PATCH 1/3] qemu: Reflect MAC address change in live domain XML

If a guest changes MAC address on its vNIC, then QEMU emits NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED event (the event is emitted in other cases too, but that's not important right now). Now, domain XML allows users to chose whether to trust these events or not: <interface trustGuestRxFilters='yes|no'/> For the 'no' case no action is performed and the event is ignored. But for the 'yes' case, some host side features of corresponding vNIC (well tap/macvtap device) are tweaked to reflect changed MAC address. But what is missing is reflecting this new MAC address in domain XML. Basically, what happens is: the host sees traffic with new MAC address, all tools inside the guest see the new MAC address (including 'virsh domifaddr --source agent') which makes it harder to match device in the guest with the one in the domain XML. NB, we should relay this event to clients, but that is covered in next commits.
