Use the virDomainXMLConf structure to hold this data and tweak the code
to avoid semantic change.

Without configuration the KVM mac prefix is used by default. I chose it
as it's in the privately administered segment so it should be usable for
any purposes.

Regarding a comment later in the review. This line is flawed and the default and most commonly used prefix should be 0x52, 0x54. ...


I don't see this C99 construct used very often; would it be any more
straightforward to write:

if (xmlconf->conf.macPrefix[0] == 0 &&
     xmlconf->conf.macPrefix[1] == 0 &&
     xmlconf->conf.macPrefix[2] == 0) {
     xmlconf->conf.macPrefix[0] = 0x54;
     xmlconf->conf.macPrefix[1] = 0x52;
}

But that's bikeshedding, so you don't necessarily have to agree.

More importantly, why the magic number '3', instead of...

This is a change to the default lxc:// prefix; since that is a semantic
change, it should probably be a separate patch.

... thus this doesn't make a semantic change. The funny stuff is that the test suite doesn't care about this kind of mistake ...

I think you need to fix the esx vs. vmx issue in v5.
