qemu: preserve netdev MAC address during 'domxml-to-native'
The virsh command 'domxml-to-native' (virConnectDomainXMLToNative()) converts all network devices to "type='ethernet'" in order to make it more likely that the generated command could be run directly from a shell (other libvirt network device types end up referencing file descriptors for tap devices assumed to have been created by libvirt, which can't be done in this case). During this conversion, all of the netdev parameters are cleared out, then specific items are filled in after changing the type. The MAC address was not one of these preserved items, and the result was that mac addresses in the generated commandlines were always 00:00:00:00:00:00. This patch saves the mac address before the conversion, then repopulates it afterwards, so the proper mac addresses show up in the commandline.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
