The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or "macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet" (which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for macvtap and macvlan devices.

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.
