I think this is misleading. The whole point of this patch is that if the MAC was generated whilst parsing user's XML, it is not taken into consideration. Therefore, other unique attributes are consulted - so far it's just PCI address. Yes, the MAC address is still generated, but not taken into consideration when matching. That's why I'd like to avoid printing it out (it's confusing anyway), and hence this piece of code.
