For pv guest, from testing, it is shown in guest. For HVM, seems
xl pci-attach has the same result.

Ah, there is a mistake during a review change to original patch 1/6.
Didn't notice that earlier.

In libxlDomainAttachNetDevice:
The if (!ret) is needed, maybe cleanup is not proper.
Since for actual type is hostdev case, after a successful
libxlDomainAttachHostDevice, we need to
update vm->def->nets too.

  cleanup:
     libxl_device_nic_dispose(&nic);
- out:
-    if (!ret)
+    if (!ret) {
         vm->def->nets[vm->def->nnets++] = net;
+    } else {
+        virDomainNetRemoveHostdev(vm->def, net);
+        networkReleaseActualDevice(vm->def, net);
+    }

Similar for libxDomainDetachNetDevice cleanup:
Original is still needed.

  cleanup:
     libxl_device_nic_dispose(&nic);
-    if (!ret)
+    if (!ret) {
+        networkReleaseActualDevice(vm->def, detach);
         virDomainNetRemove(vm->def, detachidx);
+    }

This is intended.

This is libxl problem. With xl pci-detach, it has the same issue.
