A few commits back (in v6.4.0-131-gbdb8f2e418) the post parse function for domain interface was changed so that it doesn't fill in model for hostdev types of interfaces (including network type interfaces which would end up hostdevs). While the idea is sound, the execution can be a bit better: virDomainNetResolveActualType() which is used to determine runtime type of given interface is heavy gun - it connects to network driver, fetches network XML, parses it. This all is followed by check whether the interface doesn't already have model set (from domain XML). If we switch the order of these two checks then the short circuit evaluation will ensure the expensive check is done only if really needed. This commit in fact fixes qemuxml2xmltest which due to lacking fake network driver tries to connect to network:///session and start the virtnetworkd. Fortunately, because of v6.3.0-25-gf28fbb05d3 it fails to do so and virDomainNetResolveActualType() returns -1. The only reason we don't see the test failing is because our input XMLs have model and thus we are saved by the latter (now former) check.

==============================
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.
