Guest network devices can set 'overflow' when there are a number of multicast ips configured. For virtio_net, the limit is only 64. In this case, the list of mac addresses is empty and the 'overflow' condition is set. Thus, the guest will currently receive no multicast traffic in this state. When 'overflow' is set in the guest, let's turn this into ALLMULTI on the host.
