With the current formatter, the XML snippets:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='00:0c:29:dd:ee:fe' type='static'/>
<source bridge='br1'/>
</interface>
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fd' type='generated'/>
<source bridge='br2'/>
</interface>
result in
ethernet1.present = "true"
ethernet1.networkName = "br1"
ethernet1.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet1.addressType = "static"
ethernet1.address = "00:0c:29:dd:ee:fe"
ethernet1.checkMACAddress = "false"
ethernet2.present = "true"
ethernet2.networkName = "br2"
ethernet2.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet2.addressType = "static"
ethernet2.address = "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fd"
ethernet2.checkMACAddress = "false"
which is flawed, as both type='static' and type='generated' in the XML
turn into 'static' in the VMX config.
The existence of the 'static' attribute is further overriding whether
the checkMACAddress config option is set as a side effect.
Both these pieces of flawed logic were introduced in
commit 454e5961abf40c14f8b6d7ee216229e68fd170bf

Add a type attribute on the mac address element
which intentionally added the 'checkMACAddress' side effect based on
the 'type' attribute.
With this change, we're reverting the handling of checkMACAddress
to match what existed historically. The 'type' attribute now directly
maps to the addressType attribute, so the above config becomes:
ethernet1.present = "true"
ethernet1.networkName = "br1"
ethernet1.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet1.addressType = "static"
ethernet1.address = "00:0c:29:dd:ee:fe"
ethernet2.present = "true"
ethernet2.networkName = "br2"
ethernet2.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet2.addressType = "generated"
ethernet2.generatedAddress = "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fd"
ethernet2.generatedAddressOffset = "0"

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
