We now have a qemuInterfaceStartDevices() which does the final
activation needed for the host-side tap/macvtap devices that are used
for qemu network connections. It will soon make sense to have the
converse qemuInterfaceStopDevices() which will undo whatever was done
during qemuInterfaceStartDevices().
A function to "stop" a single device has also been added, and is
called from the appropriate place in qemuDomainDetachNetDevice(),
although this is currently unnecessary - the device is going to
immediately be deleted anyway, so any extra "deactivation" will be for
naught. The call is included for completeness, though, in anticipation
that in the future there may be some required action that *isn't*
nullified by deleting the device.
This patch is a part of a more complete fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081461
Currently, MAC registration occurs during device creation, which is
early enough that, during live migration, you end up with duplicate
MAC addresses on still-running source and target devices, even though
the target device isn't actually being used yet.
This patch proposes to defer MAC registration until right before
the guest can actually use the device -- In other words, right
before starting guest CPUs.
