The bridge device was showing the vnet devices created for the domains as connected to the bridge. libvirt should only show host devices when trying to get the interface definition rather than the domain devices as well. --- Honestly this method sucks. But it makes the code path work and doesn't result in brokenness. I was really thinking of sscanf() but I don't really care to store the values.
