I mean coding up the search for an existing mac directly in
libxlDomainAttachNetDevice().  E.g.

static int
libxlDomainAttachNetDevice(libxlDriverPrivatePtr driver,
                           libxlDomainObjPrivatePtr priv,
                           virDomainObjPtr vm,
                           virDomainNetDefPtr net)
{
    int actualType;
    libxl_device_nic nic;
    int ret = -1;
    size_t i;
    virDomainDefPtr def = vm->def;

    for (i = 0; i < def->nnets; i++) {
        if (virMacAddrCmp(&def->nets[i]->mac, &net->mac) == 0)
            error;
     }
    ...
}

Jim
