This is practically a wrapper over
virNetDevBandwidthManipulateFilter() that will update the desired
filter on an interface (usually a network bridge) with a new MAC
address. Although, the MAC address in question usually refers to
some other interface - the one that the filter is constructed
for. Yeah, hard to parse. Thing is, our NATed network has a
bridge where some part of QoS takes place. And vNICs from guests
are plugged into the bridge. However, if a guest decides to
change the MAC of its vNIC, corresponding qemu process emits an
event to which we respond somehow. However, our QoS hierarchy is
currently not notified, therefore it falls apart. This function
(when called from the correct place) will update our QoS
hierarchy and duck tape it together again.
