This patch only sets the MTU if managed='no' is *not* set (so, if it is 'yes', or just not set at all). Note that MTU of the tap is also set when connecting the tap to a bridge device, but managed='no' is only allowed for <interface type='ethernet', which would never attach to a bridge anyway, so we
