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. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1335798 Changes since V1: * make a single #define for each of MACVLAN_PREFIX and MACVTAP_PREFIX in virnetdevmacvlan.h rather than duplicating #defines from virnetdevmacvlan.c into domain_conf.h (as suggested by Martin * move/rename the auto-generated prefix for regular tap devices to be consistent with the macvtap/macvlan prefixes.
